My quality of life has deteriorated partly because of GWB's policies.

The reinforcement and expansion of the power of the executive branch is troublesome. The rollback, suspension and flouting of my civil liberties is frightening. The choices that have led to the dramatic expansion of our national debt were misguided and misleading and the results are going to be expensive and long lasting. Little things like his first Presidential directive forbidding doctors to discuss abortion and calling a rollback of emission standards the "Clear Skies Initiative" have corroded the bond between me and my government and eroded the trust between me and my government.

But mostly the greatly increased fear, distrust and uncertainty his policies, actions and words have spread through our society have sucked some of the life out of living.

GWB hasn't raised gas prices or made the hurricanes or cut me off in traffic. My quailty of life depends more on my attitude than on the quality leadership in the White House, thank God. But that very leadership concerns, frustrates and worries me--and that diminishes my quality of life.
