It seems the longer GW is in office the worse off the US dollar becomes. I just hope (no matter who is in office) that this situation will spin around.
Mike, you may agree with his foreign policies (and he has done a good job of protecting Americans at home and abroad given the recent terror climates in the world) but much of the world still views GW as a bully and a thug. Even (maybe especially) those who politically support him.
It's a tough call for the next four years. If a Democrat gets in, I don't think you need to worry about any slack in foreign policies given the global situation. Whoever gets in next needs to prioritize jobs, the economy, education, and healthcare just as importantly as defense.
Oh, and recind the Patriot Act.

I would like to think that any demorate elected would have to follow Bush's lead on the war on terror, but I know that won't happen.
As far as jobs, and the economy - look around every economic indicator is UP - WAY up! Including jobs.
The dollar has been purposely dropped.... I know being Canadian being paid in dollars it sucks, but its good for the US right now.
I do agree about the Patriot Act. It is overbroad, something I could live with if and only if it was being applied to Terrorist or those directly supporting terrorist. However, it is now being applied to average US citizens on cases that have NOTHING to do with terrorism! It need to be modified IMMEDIATELY!!
See Chris, we do see eye to eye on something!
