LOL ohhh you think he's the best of everyone running for president. My
bad, I thought we were talking about bizarro land or something.
If shrub ran against the Brady bunch he might be the most qualified but
I do not think he is the person for the job. Though I'm hoping the
economy will stay in the toilet for another 8-12 months just so we can
get this knuckle head out of office.

You know, I hadn't applied that name to the democratic candidates, but
if you
think it is appropriate, who am I to argue.

LOL. And probably not too far off.
I clearly don't think that Bush is a great president, he just happens
to
be
the best of the bunch.

I think "thinking big" is a large part of Bush's popularity. I
don't
think he has a clue about how to manage the economy (or give the
impression of managing the economy), but there were a _lot_ of big,
bold
"big picture" initiatives that were pushed through after the
attacks.
War On Terrorism! (Swoosh!), Department of Homeland Defense!
(Shazam!),
PATRIOT Act! (Kerpow!), Operation Enduring Freedom! (Kaboom!). They
were impressive feats of bureaucratic manipulation, but the economic
policies seem wan and uncreative.
Here's a check for $300 - have fun. I'm cutting taxes, sort of.
Oh,
uh, here's another check for $400, go get yourself something nice,
ok?
It seems to me that the "Economy" as a whole is sort of rooted in
large-group psychology. While I don't believe the president himself
has
that much *actual* control over the economy, I think his and his
administration's attitude towards it can play into the general
perception of how things are going and make people more optimistic
about
things.
