It's was a first step, and now the next one's been taken. While we can't be sure what the crew will make of this, it's still much less likely they'll be making the same mistake again. Only so much we can do from here, and you've already done as much in your power on that issue. Yeah I do, I really do. xP

ISIS has gone further than Al Qaeda ever did. Main reason, while Al Qaeda tried to keep a low profile, ISIS makes themselves known as much as possible. Striking anywhere and everywhere. It also doesn't help that they have a talent of making themselves seem righteous to the ever-growing number of supporters.

While I'm sure Bush's presence did nothing to help the recession, I'm not certain that his absence would've actually prevented it. Only difference is it might have happened sooner or later, and for there to be a change in duration. But regardless, I agree he did far too little to fix the mess, and it was irresponsible to just bail and dump the whole thing on Obama's shoulders. Though Bush and the GOP did stoke the fire a bit, and if it was someone else, it may have been a lot shorter. I mean, sure they encouraged it, but there would still be plenty of people doing the mortgage thing on their own. Lol, "cronies" xD. Yeah, that is one of the stupidest political moves in history. Turned an already struggling country into a complete turmoil, doing so with a lack of hard evidence, and costing so many lives as well as wasting so many resources. Lose-lose scenario to everyone.

It's always nice to imagine the "years that could've been". If Gore approached the presidency in the same way he does with his climate change campaign, he could've made quite a difference. Sucks that he didn't even lose the proper way. Many must've felt cheated by that outcome. He's been using his wellknown status quite efficiently in his campaign, and if it weren't for him, there would be even more people believing global warming is a conspiracy.

If I remembered correctly. I might be wrong, since it was from a vague memory several years ago. All I can be certain of was it was some very vague source that did not present evidence that held water. You could tell Bush was like a hyperactive hound ready to chase the ball, and was just waiting for an excuse to cut his leesh.

Like him or not, without Obama, the past two terms would've been very different, and who's to say whether America would've fully recovered by now. I don't have faith McCain and Romney could've pulled it off. Also nice to see that the country will still be in good hands if Hillary wins. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, but she seems to be even more well-received than Obama. If she doesn't get it, it'll be very close.

Yep.

Not sure how much I can do, I still run into far too many right-wingers. I've been fairly outnumbered in political views for the past few years. But even the particular loyal ones may have had a change of heart with Abbott. By this stage there's almost no area he hasn't in someone way screwed over.
