I have posted these words many, MANY times on this forum.....
And I'm exceedingly happy to see that someone else has picked up on them too.
In the quote, I've amplified a few of them, just for emphasis.
Thank you, GD. I hear "exactly" what you're trying to say, and where you're coming from.
And, I agree with a large part of it. GWB is the pits, the absolute pits. But, we're stuck with him for another two years, and trying to remove him wouldn't be exactly the right solution (that, would probably create more problems that it solves). So, just bear it out - "WE" elected this guy, and "WE" have to deal with him now, but it won't be very long till we get to make another choice.
That's one of the great things about the American political process - constant choices.
Sometimes I wish that Presidential elections were held every two years instead of every four, but sometimes, you get a guy like this doofus GWB, who seems to take six years to figure out how his government works - and then, in cases like that, it seems that two years might not be enough.
The Founding Fathers, were pretty wise - all things considered.
Thumbs up.
