The best and worst President ever.
When America was attacked and he sent our troops over seas to kick some ass, the housing market was booming, and everybody was making money. 92% of Americans approved of the job he was doing. The highest presidential approval rating ever. We all loved what he was doing, go president Bush keep up the great work.
Now the war is not going as planned, Osama is still running around, greedy Americans have gotten themselves in over their heads on homes, gas prices are out of control, the economy sucks, and it is all his fault, says the American public. Now 19% of Americans approve of the job President Bush is doing. The lowest presidential approval rating ever. 79 % of us hate him and think he has really screwed things up.
How do you feel about your love/hate relationship with president Bush, America?

The War.
I do have a problem with how the War is going. I understand freeing the Iraqi people from Saddam, saving them from terrorist networks, helping them to protect their country, gaining allies on the war on terror overseas, and using our armed forces to do so. What I don't understand is after taking control of Iraq, (it might not be stable yet, but it is under the control of the United States) why we are not rewarded for what we have done. American taxpayers have invested over 500 Billion dollars in freeing the Iraqi people. With nothing given in return. We might not have gone in for the right reason but if we don't get something back for what we are doing now, we will be in trouble ourselves. Something has to come from our investment and I suggest taking the oil from the oil enriched country we have saved. I would feel a lot better about the War if gas was $1.50 a gallon because of it. 250 billion dollars in oil would do the American economy some good. We could also do a better job of financially support the troops and their families with that money.
If somebody saved my life and then continued to keep me safe, they would expect to get paid or given a token of thanks and I think the USA should get the same.
It's time for Iraq to pay the body/country guard. I don't want every cent back just a nice token of gratitude to help us out back at home.
Avoid telling me they didn't want us there in the first place. I have talked to Iraqi people in the USA and they are so glad that there families have been saved by the USA. No matter what the reason we went there is.

Today is my birthday lets celebrate with manditory holidays for all retailers.
- This will put families together at least 3 times a year. I remember many holidays that somebody had to work and Christmas just wasn't the same without them.
- It will help with family values and stop corporations from taking away from that for an extra buck.

Stop illegal immigration.
- Build a large electric fence along both borders of this country. Canada and Mexico.
- Build a massive solar panel set-up near the southern border to power the fence to stop illegals from entering. The northern border we will have to figure out a good place to generate power.
- This will not stop us from trade, or travel. It will just make people go through the points of entry to do so. Which will make everybody follow the proper procedures to enter and exit this country.
- This will stop illegal immigrants from entering our country without proper documentation.
- This will lower crime rates and make America a safer place to live.
- This will slow the flow of drugs, terrorists, and people into this country.

Cleaning up the over crowded prison system.
- Nobody stays on death row long than 3 months before they're execution.
- Everybody that is given life in prison will also be sent to death row and be there less than 6 months before they're execution.
- Three or more felony convictions. You will be sent to death row and be there less than 9 months before your execution.
- The courts will immediately start the 3 felonies and your dead rule in the court room. Putting people on death row to be executed in the next 3 months.
- I feel that this will clean up the prisons and make people with 2 felony offense think before they act.
- This will also help the police when pulling over suspects. In a police chase you can get 3 felony accounts very quickly.
- This will help clean up the people that are making a very large foot print on our country. We could also execute them with solar power if that was an option.
- Last but not least this would make our country a safer place to live. If you have managed to get 3 felonies you don't deserve to be on the street, or take tax dollars out of my pay check.
