i miss incanada

to address your statement of virtues and infallability, i measure that by my checkbook and income tax statement. 2007 was the most i've ever made in my life, about 90k.

Must. Resist. Snotty. Remark.

oh, i know.....that's nothing compared to where you are. but then again, that is more than double the median wage here.

Is that a tantrum or laughing?

Hmmmm I don't feel that really captures the sentiment.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

The real question is, when will GWB admit it?

Actually it looks like he's getting there.

The country is not undergoing a recession, its Economically Challenged.

i've got one that captures some sentiment for you

Don't tell me GWB to blame for that as well? Funny how the economy is now a big issue for democrats yet apparently when things where going well the economy did no mean ###### to democrats. Then it was all about the Iraq war, or was it gay rights. Who knows. As a foreigner I get lost with all of the BS causes American liberals fight for.

There seems to always be an emphasis on the Federal government or some single scapegoat when things go wrong. Even though the US is run not a centralized style government like Canada, Australia or the UK..

Million dollar question. And what has the house and senate done?

This is not a dictatorship. GWB does not run the country. Actually. as stated in my previous post, far from it in this country.

No, not to blame for it necessarily. But he has been publicly denying (until very recently) that there was anything wrong, and that does strike me as odd.

I dunno - for a foreigner you seem pretty keen to buy into the polarised politics, as if all the country's problems can be laid at the feet of one side of the aisle. As I recall the Liberals/Democrats weren't the only ones driving discussion about the Iraq War and Gay Rights etc. The phrase "national debate" kinda implies that the nation, or at least a good portion of it is talking about these things.

Comparing apples with oranges here. The American president is always the scape goat. Not having ministers, like the UK and AUS, does not help either. People should have enough knowledge, especially those oh-so-smart liberals, to know that the responsibility of 300,000,000 people does not and simply cannot rest with one person.

So, you're saying, our nation is too large to have just one executive?

How many Presidents do you suggest we elect? Or are you suggesting we switch to a Parliamentary system as we are now a much larger nation than when the Framers founded it?
