"deterioration of the economy, deficit, unemployment" are all associated with the unwinding of the biggest bubble in US history...i suppose after only 2 yrs some bleeding heart liberal politician (much like yourself) would have everything back on track
..."hope you are able to read"...maybe YOU should read how these bubbles take years to unwind, and how a prolonged bear mkt inevitably follows a prolonged bull mkt
...and as far as international relations go, the left is incrediblity naive to somehow think that UN approval would come for war...if the UN was around in the late 30's it would not have had the resolve to stand up to hitler, so no reason it will have the resolve to stand up TO ANYONE now
...oh, and you never answered my question: and are you suggesting that 9/11 was his doing??
