Bush either lied to the American People and Congress and led us into the war...or he made an ill-informed decision...(which is worse?)

Hoover was president in the late 20's--and there was such an awful ressesion, it lead to the "Great Depression"..thousands and thousands of Americans starved to death.

Nice to see a one day gain of $2.48 a barrel.

Is this a game to people in Washington or are they just wanting to line pockets or jobs when theirs ends in two years?

Or is it blue democrat and red republican. I feel like I should know this and I am pretty savvy politically but either I can't remember or never knew. I'll bet it's something simple. But it does seem kind of ironic since red used to connote "communist" while "true blue" signified "red-blooded American".

1) Act unilaterally, not taking into account the will of Congress or SCOTUS.

2) Expand presidential powers to a degree unknown in US history

3) Be the most divisive leader in history, causing a fundamental rift between members of his party and the opposition

4) Act in an almost imperial manner, causing his detractors to label him a wannabe king

5) Abandon diplomacy, threatening to attack other nations, causing others to hate the US and its leadership

6) Inspire widespread talk of impeachment among congressional oppostion

7) Publicly express disdain for the Supreme Court

8) Find his administration racked with scandals

9) Keep confidence in extremely unpopular cabinet members

10) Cause economic hardships via his monetary policies


Who would stand for a president doing these things?


Oh, did I happen to mention I was referring to Andrew Jackson, now recognized as one of the greatest presidents in United States history?
