Well golly gee you said a few posts ago Bush knows nothing about economics or real estate and now you point to his 2500 percent return on investment real estate deal leveraging the influence of a basebal team? For a man who knows nothing about real estate - that's not a bad return. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry, my original statement stands. Using your family's influence to land sweetheart deals does not count as expertise.

Rest assured though, your objection has been duly noted.

Blogs can be a lot of work, though. coming up with fresh content on a regular basis can be a challenge.

He's made multimillions from private sector deals that predated his presidency. What have you done?

You sure about that?

The Democratic Congress, who promised to stand up to Bush, to fight him on the war, etc., has done relatively little to garner confidence from the American people. Their approval rating is actually 1/3 that of Bush, and his is the lowest of ALL TIME! They have NOT fought for their constituency and have been worse then the DO NOTHING CONGRESS label the press has given them.

Blame Bush . . . no, blame the Democrats that you support for not standing up to him.

You can thank Joe Lieberman for that. He has openly threatened to switch to the republican caucus if they push too hard on the war, which would hand the senate to the GOP.

GWB might not know a lot about economics or real estate, but one thing he does know something about is getting drunk. He's just trying to fall back on his expertise.

There's a couple of AZ & NV towns in there, but their growth may eventually be hampered by water usage... I hear the Colorado river is pretty strained.
