Hows everybody doing?

I can't help but laugh at those who blame the President for the mess, no matter which President they blame, be it Bush or Obama or Clinton. The fact is that the President has no REAL power to affect these things without Congress. Another FACT is that Bush's last four years, the DEMOCRATS had the majority in Congress. Now that we a Dem in the White House and Democrat-controlled Congress rubberstamping everything he asks for, hold on for the ride, b/c after the bailouts and gov't taking over banking, things are not likely to get much better in our lifetimes.

Agreed, Republicans or Democrats, almost always the same results. I liked Reagan, I am just not a fan of W.

Beneath the photo from the REAGAN DIARIES is an actual quote that Reagan wrote about George "W" in his diaries, recently edited by author Doug Brinkley and published by Harper Collins

"A moment I've been dreading. George brought his n'er-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida ; the one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work."
