In some recent statements of the US president Bush, the president claims that what our country is facing is just a "slowdown" and not a recession

He also called on the Democratic-run Congress to follow his example and lift a ban on offshore drilling to help increase domestic oil production.
---------------------------
If the intent of the press conference was to reassure the American public, the wrong cheerleader was at the podium.

Just about everybody knows that the Alaska Pipeline oil is sold to the oil company''s best customers - in most cases China and/or India. So would it be for any oil coming out of these offshore leases.

Bush also competed with the news that GM was laying off thousands of its employees.

Too bad we''ve had a fool as president for over 7 years. The GOP has controlled Congress for decades and pushed through (with help from some lobbied Democrats) deregulation of financial and other industries and "free" trade instead of fair trade. I think the chickens have come home to roost. GOP policies, while benefiting corporate executives and shareholders, are bad for the country and most citizens. I hope Americans wake up and vote Democratic in November or else we''ll see more of the same bullcrap for years to come.

U.S.needs reform, not third Bush term
Category: Politics, Economy, Military, by %u2014 S.W. Anderson

Not since Franklin Roosevelt took over the reins of government from Herbert Hoover in Depression-wracked 1931 has the federal government been in such dire need of a complete overhaul.

It%u2019s not just a matter of rooting out Bush cronies and corporate hacks, restoring the Justice Department from being an operating extension of the Republican Party, along with other corruption, and seeing to it regulators do their job, important as those reforms are.

Our military is ground down and used up by war, needing $100 billion worth of restoration. The Air Force over the past dozen years has shown increasing signs of seriously deficient leadership, from the Air Force Academy up to the chief of staff.

Economic policy is as stale as month-old bread, still creaking along on disproven Reaganomics theory and platitudes of budget-cutting %u201Cfiscal responsibility,%u201D while waste, fraud, abuse and a never-ending cycle of borrow-and-spend stupidity run rampant.

Repubs always jump for corposocialism when push comes to shove. They aren''t free-marketeers when the rubber meets the road.

I saw the news conference; Bush looks like he is out of it. The man is totally stressed out; maybe, like Nixon talking to past president''''s portraits.

Bush has always justified his actions by the health of the economy, stock market, and unemployment numbers. The Roof is falling down on the head of the Roofer, how should he look?

Asked about his comment earlier this year that he hadn''t heard of $4 gasoline, Bush said: "I''ve heard of it now."


US needs to call a national emergency and start the elections for a new US President ASAP

Bush is a complete and utter failure

No doubt about that

Obama and McCain are poor choices

open the election up to at least ten qualified candidates manily independents

Say no to Republicans and Democrats
