It will be such a relief to have him out of office. It still blows my mind that people elected him into office twice. Fools.

IMO here are the biggest problems we face today:

1) Dependency on foreign oil

2) Threat of terrorist strikes

3) Overspending by government (pork, unnecessary regulation & programs)

4) Social programs (SS & Welfare) that will either bankrupt the government or go bankrupt themselves unless real solutions are implemented.

There are many more, but these are the first major ones that come to mind. How is President Bush responsible for these problems? Has he contributed to some, certainly, but there is a Congress. Bush is not a monarch. Don't we as the people that elect Congress and the President bear some of the responsibility as well?
