I believe if the U.S. was determined to find Osama Bin Laden, it could. Of course it could. No conspiracy theory, just different priorities. Bush is not focused on your safety or interests.

One thing I hated about Clinton was that he's a cunning and strong political opportunist. It appalled me the way he threw people overboard for little media tiffs with no substance. He didn't stand behind his people. He was loyal to himself.

Bush is a weak and very dependent political opportunist. No matter how appallingly and substantially his people screw up, he can't do anything but try to put a good face on it. I didn't vote twice for Clinton, and much less will I vote for a leader who can't actually lead. The boy needs help, always has, always will. Never grew a spine.

Strong on the economy. Bush. Look, I didn't believe the rosy news of the Clinton years, and I don't believe Bush is strong on the economy by a long shot. Looking at overall figures is like reporting how many points were scored in sports last week--it doesn't tell you anything you care to know about what happened. What happened during the Clinton years was that they counted the Gross National Product by adding in "value added" dollars. This might include all sorts of tech add-ons that virtually nobody uses anyway. It includes a lot of crap, and that's why pretty much nobody else counts it that way. Also, it's harder than ever to figure how much anyone produces in a work-hour because people are working from everywhere, who knows when.

What's happening with Bush is that extremely wealthy people are gathering big sums and doing less with it. It's not capitalism, or even trickle-down, it's sloth. Nobody can say they want to do away with social security, but it looks like they may force a crisis, then say sorry, what can we do? What they could have done was to be responsible public servants. When I say Bush doesn't know what it means to serve, I'm not dredging up his military record, I'm just talking about his presidency.
