Does anyone know what it is like to wake up to the sound of someone playing the triangle? You might be wondering what I am referring to, well it would be one of my children eating cereal. Apparently it is impossible for them to perform this task without hitting the bowl with the spoon. Honestly, this is not a difficult task. Some mornings it is even better. The boy for some reason cannot figure out how to comb his hair. Why are the simple tasks so damn hard? Zip it dad, no one wants to hear how I was.
Here is another thing. Can anyone explain to me why when my dog goes to the bathroom in the house it happens to be on the floor on my side of the bed?!?!?! I mean really. She will go outside then come in and finish on my side of the bed. So not only do I have to dodge my wife’s damn shoes and clothing but dog poop as well. I have come to the conclusion that they only clear area on the floor is on my side of the bed.
Ok on to more serious issues. I am taking issue with those people are way too liberal and feel the need to voice their opinion on how bad Bush was as a President. Where were the WMDs?!?! Look what he did with the economy?!?!?! Blah, Blah, Blah. http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/history/2009/02/17/historians-rank-george-w-bush-among-worst-presidents.html
Here is my question to you, how does history view President Wilson? Most people believe that he was a good President. The above article puts him in the top ten!?!?!? This was a man that segregated the federal government. He was an extreme sexist. On a political level, he attempted to colonize just about everywhere. He invaded Mexico not once, but twice for no reason. At least the second time the citizens called him out on it. He sent American troops to fight with the separatist “white” Russians, making him the only U.S. President to invade Russia. Sure he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his creation of the League of Nations. A group that was completely ineffective, so much so that the U.S. did not even join. His “14 Points” were also a very bitter pill for the German’s to swallow. There is a high possibility that these “Points” lead to the foundations of the Nazi ideals. But when we view him let’s not bother with the bad things he did and give him way too much credit for ideals that failed spectacularly.
In our current time to many people are swayed by the media. Do I think the Bush Presidency was among the top, no. There were mistakes made and ultimately he will be held responsible for the mistakes of others as well.

Let me get this straight
I am attempting to understand something, the economic problem. It’s the banks fault that people took out mortgages they could not afford. It’s President Bush’s fault that the economy is messed up.
First off to those who blame the bank: SHUT UP. You took out the loan. The bank did not make you take the money. It is time for people for take some of the responsibility for themselves. We do not get to blame all of our problems on everyone else.
Second to those who want to blame President Bush: CHECK YOUR FACTS. The amount of income per family has not gone down it has actually increased. However during the Clinton era there was a large boom in HMOs which cost less. The problem was the HMOs did not provide quality health care, so people began to switch providers. These other providers cost more.
Clinton surplus vs. Bush deficit - http://www.craigsteiner.us/articles/16 Enjoy this article. Did Bush spend more money? Yes. He had to fund a couple of wars. Please do not debate the validity of either Iraq or Afghanistan. Obama is increasing the number of troops in Afghanistan and still has two other major foreign issues on the horizon to deal with North Korea’s “satellite” and Iran’s “satellite”. Plus he has already increased the number of drone attacks in Pakistan. So with these issues coming up what do you say we withhold judgment?
I am not judging Obama, we cannot do that yet. All the same we should watch where “our” stimulus money is going http://www.recovery.gov/ . Also, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2009/02/01/GR2009020100154.html , some more good info on that package. Do not forget that any money the government gives us back like all previous stimulus packages, that money will be taxed in the future. The government will get it back. They government does not do anything for free.
