We wouldn't have this chickenhawk AWOL deserter presidummy for one
thing. We might be somewhere on the road to self-sufficiency and
conservation regarding our energy needs, for another, instead of only
worrying how we can return value to the BP & Exxon shareholders.

This administration is a lot like others before them, only more stupid,
selfish and shortsighted.

There's no doubt Bush sets the standard for stupid, selfish, and
shortsighted.


Presidummy Bush. Love it. But we're devolving into a nation of dummies.
Maybe a presidummy is all we deserve.

At the risk of your american nature telling you "away with this
european critique, on the first place I am an american": believe me,
you deserve more. Of course you deserve more.
Such a potential, such beautiful nature, such an amount of space, a
very sound filosophy re work, lot's of successes in science, lot's of
superb intellect, a bit centered on the coastal areas ok, but it's
there!

On top of that : the rest of the world deserves a sound us government
with vision how to exercise this single-superpower status in a lasting
way.

I still trust in the people of the us. They will overcome this minor
setback in the direction of the middle ages. I must say my trust is
constantly tested, also over here but it is still there... thanks to
people like you who make me sigh and think: happily there are usa-
citizens with an open mind, self-critique, and not infected with this
"if you ain't with us your against us" dogma.
