legion- first, you need to get all the facts, not just one party’s talking points (Dem or Rep).
He inherited a massive debt from the Bush Administration and no one taking office after Bush would be able to do much without some very painful choices that will affect us over the long term. In fact the bad effects over the long term are thanks to Bush.
I agree the legal profession needs an overhaul too- but the man has been in office 9 months. It took us 8 years to get to this really low point. Are we honestly expecting anyone to fix it in 9 months?
That capitalist system which is the engine of our economy needs an oil change. Agressive greed is the reason we are in the spot we’re in. Capitalism without ethical, legal or moral limits is no better than Communism. It’s just different. I’m waiting for commonsenseism from everyone. From anyone.
“Right, bxgrl. GWB got into office because the Supremes said so, not the people…”
I feel compelled to point out that the official results in Florida in 2000, after 3 recounts involving lawyers for both sides, revealed that George W. Bush was indeed the winner of that Presidential election. Even the NYTimes had to admit it, although they printed on page 16 if I recall, several months later.
as far as winning the plurality of the vote, Gore won more individual votes, but Bush won more states (35 states out of 50).
We have an electoral system to ensure that the smaller states have a say in voting in the President. if not, all the presidents would be picked by California, New York and Florida alone.

the people who scare me the most are the people who can’t see that both sides are doing it. yikes.

Thanks Arkady, I’m relieved to hear I’m not the only one actually frightened by the tone of some of this.
