Define the "end" of the GWB hijacking

Not much attention is being focussed on all of the things the GWB administration is attempting (some very successfully) to put in place that will obligate the next administration to continue--at least until, and if--they figure it out.

Aww, poor fella... he's all tuckered out, working in Washington. And come January 29, he gets to kick back and relax at his home on a lake! Here's hoping he can "get through" it.

If only our men and women overseas were so lucky.

Robert Gates was brought in to clean up a mess that never should have been such a "mess" in the first place. I don't blame him a bit for wanting to fly right out of the barnyard.

If W chose Gate over Rumfled in 2001

The old Bush was belittled by democrats as a wimp but he is graet in bring in able women and men tos erv this Nation

Only if the nive son W learned 20% from Dad and be humble, he would not have been seen as a two term failure

BO talks great though empty...let's see if he can be as sharp as HW Bush in forming his team.

John Mac is bad tempered but he has sheer determination and strong rationales, but sadly Americans like retail salesmanship in choosing leaders, for that BO will prevail.

GOD bless America and the World
