1. I am not disappointed in Bush. Yet. My opinion rests on the finality of extending/permanentising the tax cuts, but as it stands now, it has been a fairly successful 5.5 years. Thank G-d, whom I credit with this righteous outcome.

As a FB neutral, and a non-traditionally aligned opinion, and someone who has spent four months reading non-US opinion pieces on all sides:
Nice try on the God play. Otherwise, you are being entirely self-preferential. This is a so-called "recovery/expansion" that even Bush can only lie and call "good" for the average American worker, who lost spending power over the last 5 years. This is the only "expansion" in which the average working class wage has not risen - only people like you and I have benefitted - and even you cannot be so short-sighted as to think that it is beneficial for the "proles" to recognize that you gained while they did not.
To say that you are not not disappointed in Bush is to say one of two things: (1) you expected him to be a fiscally irresponisble, deficit spending, farm-subsidy loving, constitution-spitooning, inefficient military-spender on futile causes, and bacon eater - to the point that he never saw a ham-hock juicy enough to veto; or (2) your expectations were so low as to not be disappointed in this parody of president. Marion Barry will likely suffer history better.
