Nah Rich,it is going to be a cake walk
No way, Mike. The President may keep his job, but it will look more like a mud fight, than a cake walk.
Silly me, and I thought presidents got re-elected because they did a good job in their first term.
During this 'time' of former George W. Bush's 1st term, America had many issues going on. We were embroiled in two wars, for which we never declared war on. In one, we invaded due to false information that the administration knew was false and just lied about it. The other, we were still 'kind of' looking for the guy who attacked us on 9/11 without any success.
On the homefront, anyone who stated the Emporer was not wearing any cloths, was branded as being Un-American. Fiscal conservatives were happily spending taxpayer dollars 'high on the hog' without a thought to the cost. The Bush Era Tax cuts are just now, starting to take an affect on the nation's debt, climbing from pokey $2 Trillion to several more on top of that. Education was 'supposively' taken care of, thanks to 'no child left behind'; but we would later learn that was just a bunch of bull and lies. The nation's infrastructure was crumbling, with no effort being made to combat the problem....hell, if they could keep the media focus on Iraq and Afghanistan, they don't have to worry about problems 'back home'.
On top of that, the world who once held the United States in high esteem, now looked at us as a bunch of clueless idiots, thanks to our President's speechs. The guy had trouble getting two freaking sentences in a row correct. Math and science scores were dropping when compared to other industrial nations. Student college loans were changed so if someone declares bankruptcy, their student loan is STILL active.
Oh, did I mention Mr. Bush became President under less then ideal reasons? One might even go so far as to say that election was just 'shady' in every manner. Since after that election and the dust had settled, it appears Al Gore would have won the White House.
And after all that, Bush still got reelected. Afterward, he was bragging how he had 'political capitial and he indented to spend it'. Yes, one doesnt spend capital, then invest it to make MORE capital. Obvious Mr. Bush didn't study to hard for his business degree. I think we should have suspected what would happen when a (George W.) Bush and a Dick (Cheney) got together in the White House: Fuck Over America!
