Bush has been a rather competent leader if you ignore the media for a few minutes, and look at the facts.

Iraq is a success, it's impossible to deny that. While there still is definitely an insurgency problem there that will probably never be completely crushed, it is FAR better off than it was when we went in and trust in the United States is generally high. Ask any soldier (which I have, many times) and they'll corroborate that.

We haven't been attacked on the home front again since 9/11. Isn't it ironic that Bush has had the highest approval ratings of any president- highest when we are attacked, lowest while he keeps us safe. He's doing something right.

I'm also giving Obama a chance. He's proven to me beyond a reasonable doubt that he's an intelligent, level headed dude and there's a dozen other reasons why I think and hope he's going to be a great president. I'm simply skeptical on a few of his promises because I kind of realize some won't be possible. Notice how it's already been determined that the troops will not be coming home immediately. What I DO trust him with, however, OVER John McCain and any other candidate, is the economy. From the beginning I had him pinned as an economic/civil president. I have faith he's going to set us back on the right track, but it will take time.

Here's to all hopes that he listens to his generals and military advisers, though. That is the one area he does not have very much expertise in, but needs a huge amount of attention from the next president.

I'm out and stuff for the next few days so please don't expect me to respond in a timely manner, but I will do my best.


yeah
