But even with his monotone personality he did win the public's vote. Bush
needed to be appointed into office by the court. Which is more honorable? I
still attribute this to many people's lost faith in the election system and
the govt. in general.

Do you know first hand that these people are buying out of their pocket? Or
should you rephrase "more people are borrowing from the bank than ever
before."? Tell me something else new. It's fun to ignore national debt, I
know, just look at what happened to Japan. That will never happen to us
though ;) You'd be an idiot to buy right now IMO.

We're talking about the president and his political views. The
congress/senate/check-balances system is full of shortcomings and often ends
in compromises. Are we discussing that, or are we discussing your leader?
Seems like you're just on a mission to spread blame and not discuss your
leader's politics/views.
