Bush has been a disaster

Truth is, the Europeans love Clinton. And cheating on his wife is a non-issue. Americans were upset about the Clinton scandal because adultury in the White House, is unbecoming to a US President to its own citizenry.

There is a special on the Discovery ch. talking about China & the US trade and how we depend on them as much as they depend on us. Everyone they interview over their seems very positive toward the US. One thing funny on that show is that they view Wall Mart as an up scale store.

Best post of the thread.

All these other nations turn to us when they want money

How ironic. Our national debt is piling up every day, who's paying for it -- China. They own us. Frivolous spending (see Iraq war, yes -- we're stuck there now, but there was absolutely no reason to invade initially.) has set us back dearly.

Financial lesson of the day: Debt does not equal ownership. Equity equals ownership.

They're working on that with a 200 billion dollar chest.

Not sure why that's relevant from a financial standpoint?

I really dislike Bush, but I gained a little respect for him when I read that he punched the air. It's true - he really doesn't give a F. You've got to admire that, at least a little.

The G8 is a joke anyways. They're more about politics and finances than caring about the environment.

He wasn't the first and he won't be the last President (or even politician) to use questionable judgement while making a joke. This isn't exclusive to Bush.

Yawn.

This is news? When the hell does the season start anyway...
