And the same could justly be said of Obama. Really, nobody had a complete handle on the situation. Nor do the candidates have the actual responsibility yet. It would be unrealistic to the point of absurdity to look for any "make it all better" from either one in any case.

Just as I do not blame the Bush Administration for the economy's troubles, I don't give credit to the Clinton Administration for the boom times -- boom and bust happens independently of who's in power in America as far as I can see.

Why exactly is it you disapprove of being "bellicose" towards undemocracy and undemocracies again? Was it fascist sympathies? Myopia? Lack of faith in the idea of limited government? There really aren't any good reasons to be against crushing fascism, you know. Or you really should.

The above is why I don't think you're all that bright. I wish you could be, though.
