As for the number of enrollments dropping people should have to work for what they get - simple enough. I think you forgot that when he did this he also guaranteed the top 10% of all graduating classes in the state admission to a Florida univeristy, all you have to do is study.
Does anyone really want to start talking about the amount of trips Bill Clinton AND his family took on the American Tax Payer's dollar?? I mean he was the most travelled President in the history of this country. Were all those trips really necessary????

Excellent points, AOTT Brandi. I, too, qualify as a minority, but hold the same beliefs. And I knew Clinton took many trips, but I didn't know he was the MOST traveled of all our presidents.
Librasoul, you've attacked Bush for taking "93 trips on our money." But now that we have learned this interesting fact, what say you? Or does this break down to only presidents that you approve of deserve vacations?
