A guy who only served 2 weeks until bush was sworn in.

How bad does that suck??? No wonder we've had a wave of depression this century :)

3. I am so with you on that one
Sickens me as well. In a nation as large and diverse as ours we keep drawing the same names out of the hat.

10. I don't get people who compare Clinton to either of the Bushes.
His Presidency was heads and shoulders above the first Bush, and there's no comparison between Clinton and the Shrub.

11. But still, besides Clinton's many, many problems, his own war with
Iraq, and so on (Bill's continuation of the sanctions, and his own committment to regime change in Iraq, killed hundreds of thousands of people... just Iraqis, so no one noticed)... you'd think in this country, with 300 million people we would have more than 2 families to choose from to go in the White House.

2. We've only had one legitimately elected President this
century, and he was actually elected in 1992 and again in 1996. The crook currently occupying the WH stole elections in 2000 and 2004 and deserves neither the title nor the office. I predict there will be an asterisk after his name in history books not only for the vote fraud that put him in office but also because, for all intents and purposes, Cheney was the one calling the shots and running the show.

4. Can't disagree there
And, if we have a history after he is said and done with his wars and such, I hope to hell you are right about the asterisk.

7. Last two honestly-elected Prez'es have been Gore and Kerry...but Kerry didn't care enough to fight..
a Skull and Bones thing?

America -- and world survival -- would be well-served by an Al Gore candidacy, given the unique opportunity of a uniting, world Global Warming cause. Such a cause is international in scope, and if America is EVER to overcome and recover from the * Fraud regime's gross-ities and vulgar-ities and re-establish esteem and respect in the world community, Gore's Global Warming campaign could do it. In other words, there's a synergy opportunity.

America is f**ked otherwise and vulnerable to further exploitation by BFEE/MIC and ME/Saudi conspiracy...

...forever...

(...and the Fraud Neocons -- loyal to a garbage "New World Order" instead of Jefferson's Democracy -- ..."win")

6. A guy named Barack.
we're not sure if that is 08 or 12 or 16 or if chaos hasn't bestowed along with anarchy and nucular armagedon.

8. Josiah Bartlett ranks somewhere in there above the Chimp
Even a make-believe President ranks higher.
