That's because Bush has made too big a mess, it's taking us a long time to get things straightend out!
Doesn't matter who's done what, it's all the same political bull that's been going on for years. The Democrats and Republicans both have a political agenda and don't really care what the voters think anymore. That's just my opinion, but yeah, I agree with what some of the people have said. You make your own luck out there. Sometimes you just gotta take the bull by the horns and be confident enough to go and say "Look, I'm gonna do what I can to keep this job, even if it means climbing on the roof and holding myself hostage to do it" Ok, maybe not THAT extreme, but still ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.
