How are we, the people of the United States, going to fix everything our current president has messed up? And we still have about three years of his power to go.

Can we fix the war in Iraq that he got us into, that we shouldn’t even be in? The only thing that has changed there that I can see is that we’ve gone from Iraqis beheading their own to beheading ours. The country is still split with the only government in disarray and our troops being killed for no reason. That’s another Bush mistake.

The price for oil products has skyrocketed when it should be lower, since we own the Iraqis’ oil, or should with all the people’s money Bush has spent over there.

President Bush wants to cut funding for medicine, medical coverage, housing for our poor (not theirs) and, in general, money for everything we need here (military bases for example) while spending it there, without thinking about it.

What kind of president would consider closing bases and cutting military spending in the U.S. when we’re in a war with much of the world? Whose side is he on?

In my 57 years, I’ve never seen a president as bad as Bush, and I hope I never do again. If it happens, we would be better off moving to another country where we have a vote that counts, not put into the trash, when we’re allowed to vote, that is.
