what are the final ratings for bush and where is he now, seems like he took the groundhog trail while the country sure could have used a strong leader, even his wife showed more fortitude.

The was proved to be a mistake and a costly one. Obama should certainly be speaking out about the economy and taxes, or the lack there of. It appears he wants to wait and let someone else take the licks.
His promise of higher energy costs and taxes, taxing guns and ammo, and everything else contrary to the liberal agenda is compounding the declines. A defeated populace is one that can be controlled and manhandled into submission to his liberal agenda. Stand up Obama and tell us that your tax and spend is not for real..the market would immediately respond for the better. In the bitter end, it may take a Mitt Romney to straighten out the mess.

We will see what stuff Pres. Obama is made of when he finds he must stand alone, with our allies, as usual, their buried in the sand, and back up his brave words of not allowing Iran to have nuclear weapon. Let us pray that we don't wish Bush was back.

I wonder if the speaker mentioned that the Washington Post admitted to bias in its coverage of the presidential campaign. Nothing like having the media in the tank for the liberal candidate.

Illegal immigration would have been a big issue, but Obama, Bush, and McCain all held the same position on the issue, ending the discussion. This however, didn't change how the people feel about it. The big boys in politics are tip toeing around the 800 pound gorilla in the room hoping it will stay quiet. Perhaps they even hope to delay until they can cage it. The media has even intentionally helped keep the issue quiet.
