Liberals like to console themselves by talking about how stupid Dubya is. Well, let us stipulate that he is in fact stupid. But he did clean their clock in three out of four elections. And now, with his lame duck status and low approval ratings, he is running circles around the Democratic majority in Congress. Imagine what a smart Republican would have done.

Couldn't agree more. I know it's cool and trendy for the Democratic party to beat up on Bush but he just keeps getting votes in Congress. Congress just voted in support of more funding for Iraq like a week ago...

A lot of those who criticize Bush now (Democratic and Republican alike) supported Bush on the decisions they now criticize. And at least he's true to his party....I believe 62% (or something like that) of current registered Republican voters still support President Bush.

He must doing something right.

The democratic party keeps losing to the bush admin because they are acting like a bunch of pansies and are afraid of going all out (are they even capable of that?) in order to win a vote on something because they dont want to do anything too radical that might jeopardize their chances of winning in 2008.

As for bush... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the economy is the worst I have seen in years.....as a business owner this fall is the slowest I have ever felt....the US housing industry has tanked and consumer spending is LOW....

my mom's business has flourished. the sub prime loan catastrophe is exaggerated as well by media. sub prime loans make up only 3% of the housing market, yet it's labeled a catastrophe. stupid lenders + stupid buyers = their problem. now we want to bail out a bunch of morons who spent what they didn't have. smart economics

Merrily Lynch took a $7 billion hit last quarter due to the sub-prime loan portfolio. So I guess large pools of sub-prime loans can have a significant effect on the US banking system after all Mr. 3%
