I don't have a problem with the question being asked, but why wasn't it asked of Kerry as well. After all he has spent years in the Senate and surely could have come up with at least three easily. I can think of several already.
Pam, the questions were from the audience and this particular woman chose Bush, so that's why it was only Bush. I'm surprised too that they allowed the question without someone else being allowed to ask the same question of Kerry. I do agree with LH that the question should never have been allowed. Charlie dropped the ball on that one.

I also agree with Kerry that Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time because we should be concentrating on Afghanistan, but, the fact remains that we are there and we need to finish the job. I started getting negative about Iraq and then started listening to people who are actually there instead of listening to the media that spins and twists everything to their satisfaction and I hear a totally different story....things ARE getting better, albeit slowly....Rome wasn't built in a day (OOOOHHH BAD cliche).
So, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm not going to slam Georgie boy on that one....oops....I flip flopped on that one...

I also think the economy sucks, but, again, as much as I hate to admit it, it's not ALL W's fault. We have a Republican majority Congress and THEY are the people who make the policy. The president can ask for a bill, but, can only sign it if it gets to his desk after going through both Houses of Congress. I wish we had more jobs too. I wish Mike could find a job in computers again and I wish if Kerry gets elected that those things would happen, but, sadly, I don't think it will....not yet.

Now, those defenses of Bush aside. His education policies (as I have said before) are absolutely WORTHLESS (I don't have any strong opinions about it)...and Kerry says NCLB is a good thing....NOT! His environmental policies are beyond horrific, which I am assuming (I know I shouldn't do that) will also translate to companion animals. Now, Bush, in the debates was talking about concentrating on alternative fuel, but, also is a big supporter of opening up drilling in the Arctic...hmmmmm.....

Ok, I'm done now....let the games begin....lol
