Well to set matters straight the President doesn't make policies. That the legislative branches job. You know Senate and House of Representative. When did the economy start nose diving? When we Americans put Democrats in control of the Senate. What bills have they passed? What have they done? What happened to Pelosi's 100 first days plan? They control the Senate floor, there are so few Conservative Republicans there they can't do much of anything. President signs LAWS he doesn't create them. Go back to school an pay attention in Civics class. I'd much rather have the war IN IRAQ. If it's not there it WILL be HERE. Only thing i can say for sure is if Mccain isn't President, and I DO NOT like him much better than the rest, we will rue the day we made fun of G.W.Bush.
