I think you're right but what accounts for the current state of affairs? Did George Bush just have bad luck? He is the CEO and must take the fall.Comment -
Lots of posters are products of the media. Many bash him because they see him being what the media portrays. Some can sift through the bullshit and see the good he did instead of the bad. He was by far from perfect but a lot that he did was good credibility to the United States of America.Comment -
No way is anyone associated with online gambling desiring a 3rd term for Bush, BBD has gotta be either joking or drunk/highComment -
