I've heard this a few times today-that Obama's approval rating is no better than Bush's and just about the same as the last several presidents. Yeah-but Obama has accomplished so much in these first weeks compared to Bush-and some very controversial legislation at that!

on September 10, 2001 until they let 9/11 happen because they were either asleep at the wheel, on permenant vacation from stopping terrorists, or both.

I'm waiting to hear about how widows and orphans are the main victims of the stock market crash, not huge multinational corporations and mega-rich individuals.

I leave it to others to guess what that purpose might be
