He is cleaning things up. Bush has wrecked so much that what is happening now is a clean up effort. Don't think that Obama is going to lead us down the wrong path when right now he is just setting the stage for undoing things that were done over the last 8 years. As far as Socialism goes he is the commander in Chief now and we have no choice but to support him. I think when it is all said and done you will be surprised at what he has achieved. I'm NOT in support of EVERYTHING he is doing, but I don't think someone else belongs in office.

I have to agree with Derek on that one Roman. I disagree with him on healthcare, but since it will never pass anyways I am not too worried about his socialist views there. I absolutley love his new regulations in the financial district. The reality of it is noone is ever going to get it all right, but you go with the one you agree with the most. Plus hey in the worldwide view we have already moved down the scale as the SECOND most hated country in the world. We have been replaced by the U.K.

What are you agreeing with???? His policy is just spend, spend, spend. Increase government's role in our lives to the levels that rival China and former Soviet Union. Stop bailing out all of these failing institutions and printing trillions of dollars. Can you say inflation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are talking about republicans blaming Obama all the time. How about the hardcore leftists blaming Bush for everything????? Don't get me wrong I was never or will I ever be a Bush supporter, but this whole "crisis" began long before Bush took the office. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are responsible for the a huge part of economic downturn. And who are the biggest supporters of both of them????? Hardcore Leftists.

*carefully steps in room*

Is it safe to come in??

Hi all...been feeling sick so I've not been online much. Hope you all are doing ok!

Bush is dumb as a box of rocks! I'm glad you have the chance to be in Cuba when you need/want to. There are many political comments that can be made both positive and negative but in my opinion Bush screwed up everything he touched!

I am happy to hear that you can see your BH as many times as you want now. But we are not talking about immigration policies. At least I am not. I am strictly talking about what is the man doing to help our country. As far as I see not a whole lot, if anything.

Before bush was in office we were financially sound. Don't let someone else fill your head with information. Frankly I think politics suck... grown people blaming each other for this and that... he said/she said... demos and repubs always pointing fingers... but right now we have a problem. I was unemployed for 6 months and now I am working as a contractor until things settle. I am struggling like this because of Bush!

Hi Liz... I'm sorry... How do you feel? Still working out?

Hi Liz... I'm sorry... How do you feel? Still working out?

LOL....it's ok, i came in during a "heated" discussion...my fault. At the moment I'm not feeling too great, I think I've got the beginning of a sinus infection. Those are always such fun...........NOT!

Yes, still working out...although I did skip last night because of how I was feeling.

Anything new on your case?

[D_n_M 0]

Nope... stuck in AP and still no hardcopies. I have contacted the embassy though and we can go ahead with paperwork and medical. The medical is good for one year. So we are going to get everything done and then wait. Once it gets to the embassy we should be able to just call and go to the interview.

That's good! So you were able to talk you BH into going on with things finally, huh?
