People do over generalize when they say OMG I HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF THE USA! Now that bush has been re-elected.
With Bush in office in his first period. My dad's business sales are climbing back up. I can go to the school i want and train for what i want to do. I can awlk around town knowing i am safe, except from other drivers on the road. I can live my life as i always have. Taxes may be different, gas and oik asre still relatively cheap. And Apple stock has done nothing but go up since october and it is up 2.5 points today even with the news of the election. Also note that when the other day that it was expected that kerry would winthe election, the stock market showed severe implications and dropped 100 points in a very short time. |
Agree with all of what you said except the gas and oil prices... Expensive as crap over here. :( |

| All we can truly do is sit back and see if Bush can fix his follies. |

Well i'm also a Canadian, I don't think it'd be that hard.. but as for passing it on, wtf? I go to the consulate and say, I don't want to be an american anymore, then I surrender my passport and such. |

My only real complaint about Bush is that he won't just admit that he makes mistakes. I don't think Iraq was a mistake, but I think he should be honest about his motives. If he had said he went in to get a dictator, we put in power, out of power, I think that people would have been more satisfied with the move.
The economy is only partly effected by the President and it usually takes time for those policies to make an impact. These next four years will show how effective his policies are or are not. Greenspan has a lot more impact on the economy than Bush does. We shall see what happens in the near future. The other factor on the economy that could not be accounted for was 9/11. It takes a while to restore order after an event of such impact. |

I was just bringing light to the reality of a lot pf people saying bush is causing a lack in jobs. and bush is killing th economy blah blah blah. Unemployment rates are down, there is money going back into the economy as is evident by company earning reports and the stock market going up. All while bush is in office. With 9/11 happening the economy has recovered pretty quick in comparison to what history predicted. |

I concur. If the trends continue and the economy gets better, people won't be able to blame Bush for Clinton's policies. That is what I expect and another reason I am glad he got re-elected. If he had not, people could attribute good changes to the economy and job market to Kerry. |

Agreed, I learned in Economics class that it's just a case of wrong place at the wrong time for Bush. That's why he's getting the blame for the bad economy, even though he has nothing to do with it. On the other hand, if he were to spend about $50 million on redecorating the White House, then the bad economy would be his fault. :p |

I dunno about that, "The Neon Green House" has a little ring to it. |
