Although it may be early to write the History chapter related to the George Bush presidency, it is now time to ask Reagan's famous question: "Are you better off than 8 years ago?"
The answer borders on the cruel...Both wars are faltering. After thousands of death and trillions of wasted dollars, we are paying off the enemy in Irak and about to hand over power to the Talibans in Afghanistan. The economy is in a free fall. Our car companies about to disappear. Detroit will be just as abandonned as New Orleans. The loss of two major cities and part of New York. I won't mention the Constitution nor America's status abroad.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the aerth, the Chinese are doing well, thank you. Oh, they slowed down to "only 9% annual growth. But they build more Chryslers and Buicks than the US. Their "taikonauts" had a successful spacewalk, a rehearsal before their planned moonwalk. And, their leaders just met the leaders of 27 European and 20 Asian countries, to decide what to do with their wayward American friends. No American was invited.
