Doesn't seem possible,

but it was 8 years ago, today, that I saw GW's smirk as he took office for another 4 years as prez, and I felt SICK, wondering how half our country could be duped, AGAIN. Four years later, as he left town with a 22% approval rating, 2 wars raging, the economy in the dumper with unemployment rising, home values crashing and $860 BILLION in checks to keep the financial system semi-solvent, 'til the new guy took over, my feelings were totally justified. Fast forward four years and we have another 2nd term prez, who is gradually digging us out of the huge hole that Bush and the Pubs left. Gonna be a long slog, but hopefully we, as a nation can do it. I give us about a 50/50 shot, depending on just how obstructionist the Repubs can be, and if the past is any indicator, they are gonna fight every stimulus and jobs bill, that our country so desperately needs, to get people working, which is the only way to fix the HUGE mess they made last time. Wow, time does fly....
