Y'all please! This man violated the Kyoto Treaty, pissed of the entire continent of Europe, destroyed our already fragile relations with China, AND his new budget just slashed funding for NREL where my friends used to work. NREL is a nationally funded laboratory that researches alternative energy sources. Apparently though, Bush doesn't think that's important - despite current energy prices. I supported Gore because Nader didn't have a prayer and Gore was the lesser of two evils. Also, just so you all know - the stock market started its crash in November due in part to the uncertainty surrounding the election and has gone further downhill since. Economic growth is directly related to consumer spending, which is related to consumer confidence in economic trends. At least some small part of our economic slowdown happened because consumers lost confidence in the market, partly due to a president being elected that most of us didn't vote for!
