Default OT - JFK vs BUSH

You like the:

USA Patriot Act, the most aggressive assault on individual rights since,

well, forever?

No, but that was passed by Congress, first, and then signed by the
president, so it was our representatives who passed that bill, and that
means the responsibility is ours.

Loss of *three* *million* jobs since he took office?

Who has the president laid off? How is the president responsible for
layoffs? Is the president responsible for every lost job? I quit mine,
last month. Is that George's fault, too? Presidents don't create jobs;
employers do. The economy tanked after the terrorist attacks. After that,
job creation wasn't at the top of my list, either. There were more
important things to handle.

The official doctrine that we can attack any country we perceive as a

potential threat?

In Texas, we call that, "headin'em off at the pass"! It's better than
waiting for them to cream us. It's a tough world, and namby-pamby wasn't
working.

The denial of benefits to veterans who have served this country?

My dad had heart surgery, last February, in the VA hospital in Dallas. I
think he paid $75. Which benefit was he denied?

Laisser-faire attitude toward serving in the National Guard?

Better than running off to merry old England to avoid service, ain't it,
Andy?

presence of a president who can just barely put a sentence together half

the time?

I think he does better than half. I'm not sure public speaking is the most
important skill for the leader of the free world, but, then, I'm not a
Democrat, am I?
