Bush

With the exception of perhaps four or five people, everyone else I know LOVES George Bush. My wife did a survey at her work wherein one of the questions was to write down someone they admired - a huge number penned George Bush.

In law one is taught to stick close to the facts. The facts of this administration are astonishing even when the emotional or idealogical aspects are removed: record budget deficits, record spending, massive trade deficits and a falling Dollar, and mind you those deficits are now so huge that a decade from now it will become difficult if not impossible to simply make the minimum-payment on the national credit card let alone pay any of it off.

Here's Bush verbatim on the Amnesty International Report (how anyone takes this guy as a leader or even as a person with an IQ of 2 points above plant-level is beyond me)...

"In terms of, umm -- you know, the -- the detainees, we've had thousands of people detained. We've investigated every single complaint against the detainees. It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on, on the word of, uhh -- and the allegations -- by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth. And so it was an absurd report. It just is. And, uhh, you know -- yes, sir."
