Lets not blame job losses on the President, blame the economic cycle which happened to spiral downwards in '00 and '01.
But ya know, the #1 reason why this country has lost so many manufacturing jobs?
We want cheap stuff. Plain and simple.

brapple, you have a very narrow and self-serving view of things. Natural economic progression. If you had you're way back in the day we'd all be farmers.

Then there is books from the 'brownshirts' like Coulter, Hannity and Savage.
Their book titles speak for themselves:
"Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism" = Comparing liberalism with terrorists and despots.
"The Enemy Within: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Schools, Faith, and Military" = Same as above.
"Off with Their Heads : Traitors, Crooks & Obstructionists in American Politics, Media & Business" = Deathcamps anyone??
"Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism" = Blatantly comparing liberals of this country (which is close to 50% of the population) to Soviets
Honestly, why wouldn't I expect to be sent to death camps when I am being compared to sadistic mass murderers and any criticism of Bush is considered treason?
Cheer up..even after murdering millions, Saddam gets his day in court before "death camp" and I'm sure you will get yours..

Without direct support of the UN? Give me a break! The UN is a worthless organization without a backbone! How many resolutions have to be passed before action was taken? If we did it for oil, how come I'm still paying 2.23 a gallon for Preimum?
I don't know, money hungry politicians seeing how much we'll actually pay? Watch next summer when the oil prices are projected to fall. I'll be buying a diesil and converting it to run on veggy oil. Hey EternalOne, got any farm land that I could grow my own fuel on?
The UN was created to avoid these type of conflicts. Worthless or not, it doesn't do foriegn policies much good to go against the UN.

sure maybe he couldn't stop it but he could have tried
yes I understand there is an economic cycle, doesn't mean steps can't be taken to lessen its impact, again nothing was done

Really? Considering many of the high courts in this nation now have a liberal majority sitting on the bench, exactly what are you saying here?
The U.S. Constitution limits the power and scope not only of the judicial branch, but also the legislative and executive branches of the gov't. The primary purpose of the courts is to interpret existing laws on the books, not to legislate. What we are seeing ongoing in today's gov't is the three branched system at work, juggling difficult moral and legal issues. The three branch system is self balancing in many ways. Jefferson often referred to the "chains of the U.S. Constitution" in many of his writings and speeches, because the founders of this nation knew the inherent power of very limited gov't.
Exactly how are we limiting the rights of minorities? Many of the minority population chooses not to follow the law when it comes to voting procedures. As a result, some of the provisional ballots and absentee ballots are discarded. Just as with every other right that we have, whether it be life, liberty, happiness, etc., all rights must be observed within the letter of the law that helps define them. Voting is no exception.

The UN's policy was that action would be taken if he didn't comply. 11 years later they still didn't enforce it. So Bush did!

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
