What does it say to us as a nation that we're not bothered enough by his actions to actually do anything about it?
Our government is supposed to fear us. It's not supposed to be the other way around. We're supposed to make demands of our president. It's not supposed to be the other way around.

His approval rating is like 25%. 3 of every 4 people thinks he sucks. I'd say we are bothered by it, the problem is that we can't really do anything about it. Pelosi was firing off before she made speaker. Impeachment is off the table now.
I believe Bush should be impeached and there should be a full investigation. If he doesn't cooperate, which he won't, then he leaves the office immediately. Same with Cheney. If both are impeached simultaneously, Pelosi will take office. Not my first choice, but considering who's there now... yeah.
