I hope you all realize that complaining about the president is going to change what he/she has done. If they started a negative trend and the next president cant right it, then it will reflect poorly on the next president as well. You may all thin Hillary and Barrack are the greatest people in the world right now, but when they fail to correct all of these "problems" you made a chart of people wont be blaming bush, they'll be blaming the current president. Who ever is elected will be looked down upon as well.

For the record, I do not support Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

Yep...and easy to find negatives just like the person did who started the thread. Someone will always point out the negs at election time. How easy was it to point out Clinton's mistakes...9/11 due to crappy intelligence and not taking out Osama BL when he could have, Somalia was a disaster because Clinton wouldn't give the troops what resources they needed, ENRON (which Bush inherited) really hurt the economy along with other Wall Street bad apples that thrived during the Clintion era, and there's lots more. You can always find the negs...but how do we as citizens respond??? You can vote for one and support your party no matter if dem/repub/independent. It does no good to moan and graon if you don't vote. There's two sides to every story and no one will ever be completely happy with whoever is President. There's always someone looking to bash them...dem or repub.

I don't disagree with you, stewart. There are positives and negatives to every administration.

Exactly, as it should be.
I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for in the next election, but no matter who wins, if they can't fix(or at least improve) all the negative byproducts of the Bush administration's policy, they too will be looked down upon...it's called "approval rating" - AKA, by the people for the people? I for one don't believe (my opinion) our President has done a good job representing his country - that chart, the polls, his videos, his quotes etc. all show that, and back it up pretty well.
Saying that, how good our government is performing is very difficult for the general public to ascertain (including for myself), as we are limited on how we are given the facts and how they are interpreted. However, if you want to piss people off, and in general disgrace the job you've done, just allow the economy to fall flat, and send our fellow citizens to an ever ongoing war with no end in the near future (regardless of WHY we are there). Meanwhile say stupid things, stumble during your speeches, and make very little sense when fielding questions.
I'm honestly not very confident that either Hillary, or Obama, or anyone else in the race right now can effectively implement the changes we need right now. Whoever takes over can't really do much worse, can they(scary thought)?

Honestly, I won't be satisfied with any president until we hear the truth about extraterrestrials.

Don't forget about the two other branches of government as well. The Legislative and Judicial branches should share in any failures along with the Executive branch. One president can't fix or break it all.

Its always easy to point out the negatives but no one ever posts the positives it seems.
I do pose this question. Does anyone truly believe we would be in a better situation with Al Gore or John Kerry?
