I don't care if it's Bush or Clinton, Bush or Regan. The pres of the day gets the rap. WBush has had plenty of that lately. Don't the Americans remember the change they asked for in 2006? America voted, and we got it. Remember that Congress makes the law, not the President.
So what's up with all the country complaining and Bush bashing!
I don't normally get all political, and what I say below may be the basis for a great junk chain letter. But that's what I got. Read this thoroughly. Link to the sources are included. I'm doing my part... my 2 cents, and remember to vote, will ya?
Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.

Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates. It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Maybe so, but what about immigration?

Today was our first No MOre Trash pickup day. Doing something like this makes you more 'trash-wise', as D found out; that just because the bottle says Pepsi on it,... doesn't necessarily mean that's what's in the bottle! Pepsi is usually darker and not the pee color as shown in his photograph above! I won't tell you if he actually smelled it or not to be certain! He was also the lucky finder of a dollar bill. We (M, D, A, D, J, E) picked up mostly beer cans and plastic bottles. It took us around 3 hours to clean a 2 mile stretch. That included 16 trash bags, 2 buckets, and a street sign in our inventory for the day. We ended up by Kaity's Pizza, and the owner asked us what we were doing, and we explained. He was very gracious and ended up giving us our lunch for free! That was great, and I think the kids got a better feeling for why we were volunteering our time and what it means to volunteer!
