But in all honesty, I think he did a great job. He did side the Democrat's in many way such as healthcare, environment, and so on. But these reforms may also be against the way the Democrat's may have wanted them to be enforced...he wants to cut taxes or offer tax benefits (which I agree with) to carry out these benefits.
What do you think?? |

There's NO WAY he's going to try to convince insurance companies or big oil from scaling down their profits. The bit about Iraq and the escalation was mostly rhetoric, but that's to be expected.

I'll believe it when I see it.
