I'm not usually politically minded. I don't care for the way the last election was handled by either side (to many people putting their noses in the process). But I do want to make an observation.
Has anyone else noticed that it wasn't long after Bush was declared the winner of the last election that all of these large companies started crying that they weren't making any money? A lot of them are blaming 9/11 but the majority started reporting declining profits a year ago. Many would say it was the fault of the Clinton administration and to a point may be right. However, it makes you wonder how many of them decided that since they had a Republican in office, they were going to see just how much they could get away with to keep us smaller folks from getting ahead.
That said and my personal feelings for Bush aside, I must agree that he handled that disaster as well as any person in his position could have. I am grateful that he didn't just go out with guns blazing without investigating first. He and his advisors were careful in not placing the blame without sufficient evidence. It is unfortunate that we had to go to war, but at least it was one that was carefully thought out before he sent our troops into hostile territory.
