    Its a variant on the schtick used by an 80's/ early 90's comedian who used the name Yakov Shmirnov. He was pretty good for some anti-soviet yucks back in the day.

    Ignoring how terrible Bush is, I agree that Clinton isn't exactly top stuff either. In fact, the last 3 decades there hasn't been a single person who I'd want to have leading my country, but that's just me.

    The pendulum swings and Clinton just happened to be president when the US’s pendulum swung up. There were several factors and him being president didn’t hurt that but I really don’t think it would have mattered who the president was, The US was on an unstoppable upward swing. When things are going well we tend to relax and I think that is exactly what happened to the US. We were too relaxed and didn’t pay attention to the storm clouds in the Middle East or in our economy or to several other fronts forming on our horizon. Clinton has proved he could be a good leader but because of political, sexual, and legal scandals he couldn’t be effective as President and literally left our pants down after he was out of office. The longer Bush is president the more I think he is incompetent but many of the problems the US has faced since his presidency would have had to been faced regardless of who the president was. I wish I could bang my head on the wall and say that Gore or Kerry could have done better, I should have voted for them, but I think they are even more incompetent. The US is due for another up swing and it sure would be nice to have a good strong, competent leader going into it.

    That’s my 2 cents.

    For sure yesdachi. Bush has certainly proved to be no Reagan as we all had hoped for at first. It seems theres little to choose from between the two parties anymore. Its just a matter of which you think is more incompetent. It seems to me at least the republicans though have ideas on how to fix things and their whole agenda isnt just bashing Democrats . Oh that we had a viable 3rd partry. One that was truly conservative I might add

    That's good, right? At least Bush didn't sell weapons to Americas enemies like Reagan did *cough Iran cough* ;)

    'sist:

    You could take it a notch further and have 5-6 stickies for Dems, GOP, Clinton, Bush, etc. Then you could dump any thread wandering that way into the sticky as an attachment. You'd clean out the Backroom down to a page or two within a week!
