I doubt it I don’t put to much stock in liberal rhetoric.
Well, if you put it all into Bush, all I can do is pity you.

Moving on with my life, I find it interesting that we put so much blind faith in our leader. I was talking to my Irish professor, and he had a very interesting observation. There is a fundamental cultural difference between us and other nations in that our national leader is still tied up in symbol as a figurehead. In Britain for example, the symbolic figureheads would be the King/Queen, but now the Prime Minister is the executive political leader, and it is much more accepted for British citizens to vocally oppose and denounce him. Do not let pride in your country blind your judgement of a temporarily elected leader. He is there to serve US, not the other way around, and in my opinion he's done a poor job of it so far.
