I did not say America sucks, nor did I even put all the blame on Bush (even though I do think he is immoral and incompetent)...but as Ace likes to say..."the buck stops there". A president cant take credit for the good things without accepting blame for the bad.
I offered an opinion on the State of the Union, based on my interpretation of the facts and figures (national debt, unemployment rate, # in poverty, # w/o health insurance, energy costs and imports, trade deficit...)
I didnt even say "how horrible things are," I just concluded that by those measures, things are worse than they were eight years ago.
But if you have other measures or indicators....go for it But I suspect you like talking chicken shit more than the facts, particularly since you offered few facts, and those were wrong
