I just dont think people can see beyond the tip of their nose. Everything they want about Clinton era is a total mirage.
The economy was built on great business models like pets.com and furniture.com and tons of accounting scandals.
Foreign Policy .... The head in the sand approach. Do nothing, let Al Quada build their infrastructure strong and look the other way as terroist attacks happen. Cut a sweetheart deal with North Korea.
Whether people like it or not, gwb will be re-elected. The only way he would lose is if a conservative independent was in the mix to take votes away. Howard Dean is the lefts equivilent of Rush Limbaugh, and as the election gets closer more and more people are going to be turned off by him.

the states wasn't that close to a depression, there were a bunch of factors that caused the depression and they weren't present this time around.
