Upset in Massachusetts

George W. Bush started out his 1st year running our country in to the ground and continued to do so for 8 years. So, why is it that everyone expects President Barack Obama to turn things around in his 1st year?

As you can imagine, I was really saddened to see the late Edward Kennedy's Senate seat handed over to a Republican. A Democrat has held that seat in Massachusetts for close to 50 years and to see so much good come to an end is very upsetting. I agree, Martha Coakley's campaign was less than stellar. I think she thought the seat was hers, so why fight for it. However, Martha did not let Massachusetts down, the people of Massachusetts let down their own state. In the end they didn't stand for what they truly believed in. The people of Mass are mad and frustrated over Obama's 1st year in office, but honestly, look at what he has on his plate. It's unreal the number of obstacles this President is having to overcome. He was handed this turmoil on a silver platter, yet we blame Obama instead of Bush Jr.?

It makes no sense to me.

Bush's Approval Rating Drops To A New Low.

From AOL News: PRINCETON, N.J. (Sept. 30) - According to a Sept. 26-27 USA Today/Gallup poll, just 27% of Americans approve of the job George W. Bush is doing as president, the lowest rating of his presidency.

How would you rate President George W. Bush?

No Way, No How, NO MCCAIN!

I thought Hillary did a great job delivering her Unity speech last night at the DNC. I would have liked to have heard a little more about Barack, but over all I think she had a solid night. Didn't you find it very surprising how funny Hillary could be? I don't think I've seen much of that side of her, and I was quite impressed. It was refreshing to see another side.

Hillary Clinton's DNC Speech


I'm still a little dissapointed that there are Hillary supporters out there that will not vote Barack into the White House in November. It doesn't make sense to me. One thing about Hillary and Barack is they share more of the same views, than those they differ on. John McCain is on a completely different page than that of Democratic supporters. We've had a Republican in the White House for 8 years, and look where that's gotten us. Can we really have another 4, possibly 8 more years of the same? I just can't see it and can't wrap my mind around what Americans think McCain will do any differently than that of our current President, George W. Bush. People need to remember that President Bush is considered the most unpopular President in modern history with only a 28% approval rating. CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider wrote in May 2008 an article regarding George Bush, which said "He is more unpopular than Richard Nixon was just before he resigned from the presidency in August 1974." How on earth can anyone even consider McCain?

"Tonight we need to remember what a Presidential election is really about. When the polls have closed, and the ads are finally off the air, it comes down to you -- the American people, your lives, and your children’s futures" (quote from Hillary Clinton's DNC speech). To sum it all up, Hillary said it best when she said "This is a fight for the future. And it’s a fight we must win".
