"bush drowned the economy" - Confused I think it's kind of hard to drown the economy when it was already on the way down. The economy starting tanking on Clinton's final year. There was nothing Bush or any other President (including Clinton) could do. Do you really think creating more gov. jobs or more tax breaks could have slowed it? The dot-com era caused cooking books and investment bank deceits along with false stock option riches. That being said. I think Bush has made a mockery of the presidency. It's all about how you handle yourself. "Meet the Press" interview was an example. With all the baggage with Clinton, look at him now....respected guy(Loved his boston speech). Even Reagan should have been impeached for that Iran-contra. But he was too well respected (or senile). For Bush, they made a movie to belittle him for eternity. I am votig for Kerry. The lesser of the two evils. Riddle me this: WHY IS THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IN NEW YORK?
