I cannot remember a time in this country (and I have lived here for 54 years) when the country has been so divided. The poor are getting poorer, the rich richer. New Orleans is still a disaster zone one year after the storm, the conservatives use the word liberal as if you are a traitor if you do not vote republican, they use hot button issues to garner votes such as abortion, prayer in schools etc because they need to deflect the big oil and insurance companies rip-offs, the price of housing is out of reach for all but the wealthiest. This is not the America I grew up in, where real values meant helping the most vulnerable among us. When big oil for instance is making outrageous profits, and we do not even encourage to any serious degree the development of electric cars which we have had the technology to make for decades to keep us dependent on foreign oil for the oil companies best interests, you decide on how well GWB is doing as a Uniter. I think not.
