to the contrary, when obama is sworn into office he'll have a tremendously difficult task ahead of him....7 years of failed bush economic policies will take years (if not more) to correct. bush's war is also not going to be resolved as quickly as many hope. but what he will be able to do is reach out to the international community in a way that the current regime never did. the prospect of having a true coaltion of international forces in iraq is improbable (who would want to get involved at this point?), but it is slightly more likely with someone like obama as president.
jesus, "old europe"? "freedom fries"?....and you think this admin has taken too much abuse from critics?

"happened to be in the chair at the time".....what in god's name are you on about? he started a war of choice against a country that had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with 9/11. it didn't '
happen' to him, he made it happen. HE pulled the trigger.
granted he was duped by his underlings, but he should have known better than to take the job in the first place because he just doesn't have the intellect for it. in fact, if anyone is to blame for this bush presidency, it's the bush family and its advisors like jim baker. they knew what a dope he was before they put him up for the job.....but they did it anyway. given the choice, do you think they'd do it again?
very, very, unlikely. just go to youtube and watch 41 cry.
