The first term was far-and-away better than the second. IMHO, it
could've been worst... we coulda got stuck with unhinged algore or

Well... now we have a pro-Democratic propaganda "news" outlet...
"MakingSureNeophyteBarack(is)Chosen". CNN has been somewhat leftist
for some time, but I would have to say out of the three, it has been
the most "fair & balanced" lately.

Bottom line... with a war that's still going lousy (no matter the
mantra from the right) and with $4.00 (and going up) gas... it's time
for a "change".

Whatever happens... happens... it will be the end of the Bush
Administration.
