Music from that era had a melody and harmony, you could understand the words and were not sorry you could. Those were the days.

And, when it's all said and done, after this money is given to the poor, they'll still be poor.

It wasn;t the democrats it was W and his republican congress. He inherited peace and prosperity and now look at this country.

You should be a bit more informed:

Actually, the Clinton years of "do nothing" caused what happend during the Bush years. 911 was a direct result of the Clinton Administration.

He inherited Peace and Prosperity? Yeah 911 was real peaceful.. .all planned during the Clinton Administration.

Prosperity? Guess you really believe Bill Clinton balanced the budget... yeah, the TRUTH is, Clinton balanced it on "PAPER" it was never really balanced and any high school kid could have accomplished that.

Yep, 8 years of absolutely NOTHING ... that's wwhat caused the US to be the shape it is right now.

I agree. Consider this:

-The first World Trade Center attack was orchestrated by who? If you guessed al Qaeda, you're correct. No response by Clinton.
-The 1996 Khobar Towers attack that killed 19 Americans in Saudi Arabia was orchestrated by who? If you guessed al Qaeda, again you're correct. Again, no response by Clinton
-The attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 were orchestrated by whom? If you again guessed al Qaeda, you're now four for four. Clinton's response? The infamous cruise missile attacks that destroyed a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan.
-The U.S.S. Cole attack in 2000, which was orchestrated by, you guessed it, al Qaeda. Clinton's response? None of course.

I dislike Bush, but I'm willing to bet that he would not have allowed us to get attacked 5 times without a response. Furthermore, if he had been President instead of Clinton, he would have responded after the first attack, and I argue that there never would have been a September 11th.
