G. Don Gale: Building a better nation will always be a work in progress

And I've heard high school debate team members communicate much more effectively than President Bush.
Remember, if you're going to "vote the bums out," you have to do so in the primaries! Otherwise, you're stuck voting for the other party, which you may not want to do.
Maybe that is just asking too much of any politician, and why I would prefer someone spending my tax dollars to have some business sense. I wonder who that might be.... Seems Romney is the only one with any business sense out there.
Unless something drastically changes, our country is going to be in a "heap-O-trouble", especially if all the funds invested by foreign government-owned banks suddenly decide to pull all their assets out of our country, or call loans due. That is not unimagineable in some scenarios. Then we are left, like a previous post put it, "rearranging the deck chairs" of our financial lives.

Pres. Regeans worst was the handling of the rapidly encroaching threat of terrorism. Had he been more effective in dealing with Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden when they were openly menacing the U.S. on several occasions during the 1980? Does Lebanon ring a bell or are you to young?

The same is true of the debacles of Enron, et al. They all were detected during the Bush administration but had their genesis years earlier during the Clinton era.
One might even argue that the tragedy of Katrina was decades in the making as billions in federal aid was squandered on poorly designed and built levees and other mismanaged infrastructure. Not to mention a ridiculously ineffective local response to the hurricane threat.
In a representative democracy such as ours, the buck will always stop, ultimately, at the feet of each and every citizen with the right and responsibility to vote. Clinton, Bush and every other president has served because we put them there.
To borrow from Shakespeare, "The fault, dear citizens, is not in our leaders, but in ourselves, that we are dissatisfied."
