1. No. With regards to world affairs, our trade deficits and our environment, I don't think Bush could be doing a worse job. He thinks exteremely short term.
2. Americans and the American Goverment were struck with fear after 9/11, and desperately needed to feel safer. They needed a cause, and they couldn't catch Osama. The Bush administration already loathed Saddam and also saw Iraq as an opportunity to spread democracy in the Middle East, so they turned into Iraq into the villan. This worked fine and gave many Americans the illusion of safety, until we were unable to secure after Iraq after the fall of Saddam. Now we're much worse than before we stared.
3. Terrorism. Because (A) of 9/11, and (B) because the current administration has used Terrorism as a way to retain control of the government ... they've worked hard to instill this fear into the people.
4. Most Americans are spending more than they're making, so investment is low. Most look at their house as their primary investment, but save little of their take home income. I prefer a variety of domestic and foreign stocks and CD's ... I'm fairly young and don't diversity too much into bonds.
5. It will slow substantially. Most economic theories show that investment is directly related to long term success ... our individuals are heavy into debt, as is our government (federal deficit & trade deficit)
6. Yes. It's very real and is likely to displace millions of people and erase billions of dollars of real estate as our coasts disappear. Whether or not humans contibute to this warming is a different matter ... but I would suggest that even if it is a natural warming ... we're also contributing to it.
7. No. We need to focus on alternatives to oil, not to recklessly drill and use the reserves that we have .. endangering our nature preserves in the process.

1. Ordinarily I would say indifferent. He's started to take climate change issues though (or more specifically the fact that we'll run out of oil within the next 30-40 years - and they're the more conservative government opinions!) - So I would say he's doing ok. As I understand it though, the US economy is performing poorly at the moment, with a weak $ against the £. I guess i'm back to where I started. Indifferent.

2. 9/11 was the terrorist attack that prompted our invasion into Afghanistan. As I understand it, while we were there we decided to then topple Saddam Hussein.

3. Terrorism...athough looknig at the makeup of the government - fundamentalist christians and jews etc. Atheism is an underlying threat. (sorry)

4. You can't invest in gold. You can buy it, or mine it out the ground. You can't invest in physical lumps of gold though. America invest in the stock market and individual consumers invest in houses. Just like any other country.

5. Oil researchers and geologists believe oil will run out within the next 10 years, the government say 40 years. Whoevers right, it will lead to stark rises in the price of oil over the next 5/10 years (As George Bush said: "America is addicted to oil.") So I think hard times are ahead.

6. Not really, if it does start to effect the planet in a noticable way, once the government can put a financial cost on the damage it will do - they'll stop it. Not a moment before though.

7. No, keep it safe and sound. But use middle east's oil first.
