Yep, I noticed that as well. He does have a pretty good arm. I didn't notice any booing though...
maybe it's because I'm Canadian and so used to hearing boos whenever his face is shown this side of the border,
...after a while... you get used to it.
Matt C,
Some argue that Bush did GOOD things while in office. Yes, the methods may be questionable and it might be messy... but he's secured new bases in a region of the world where the USA needs them. He assured that oil from iraq will be sold in dollars, by US firms. He assured the US is in a good position to maintain our supremacy worldwide for decades to come. We might not be liked, but we have people and bases in powerful places, and we can rest assured that if shit hits fan, we're in good position to shake a few folks down worldwide and retain our status.
Some argue that Repub admins are good for setting up bases and controlling oil and other resouces worldwide (reagan all over the place, bush1/2 with iraq, nixon with nam). And the Dems are good for recovering the economy and fixing things domestically.
Are they wrong, Matt C? And if so, why?
I couldn't disagree with you more vehemently. For your sake, and everyone else's I hope I'm wrong but doubt it,
...the evidence shows otherwise. I think he's squandered surpluses, and ensured the US's position of supremacy in the world is a thing of the past. I think he has put your society and many others in a very precarious position.
A country in such incredible debt to a foreign country is not an autonomous country. It is one that takes it's orders from afar. Many ask why the administration cowtows to Mexico's demands? the answer is simple. The US is in debt to Mexico. if you think such a rate of indebtedness make you strong, ...just take a look at any 3
rd world African nation that has gotten indebted to the IMF. These countries are struggling under back breaking interest on their debts and are unable to educate their people because the IMF and others dictate to them that they cannot build schools or provide education that would release their citizens from a cycle of poverty.
A nation cannot be strong if it is weak financially, and it most certainly can't maintain supremacy with it's military stretched to the breaking point. Just look at the Katrina disaster and how effectively they were able to deal that (NOT!) with all the guardsmen over in Iraq.
I can't wear a red jumpsuit and walk thru Criptown in Compton, California, either.
But you can in Santa Barbara. I know... I did.
really. no joke. It wasn't that I was brave or nothing,
I just had no idea that there were some colours you just don't wear in certain areas.
Plus too I think they knew I wasn't showing allegiance to anyone, and wasn't a gang banger, ...just clueless.
