That's awesome news!

Dear Albania, thanks for granting our President such a warm reception. We're so touched that we've decided to let you keep him. Would you like Dick Cheney, too?

I find it to be very curious that the USA now has in its pocket all these former ultra communist eastern European countries.

They are mostly right wing governments now- still basically totalitarian regimes that seemingly agree with Bush regarding Gay pogroms, global warming, womens rights, Iraq.. etc. They also have a cheap labor pool, where workers are exploited; something not permitted in western Europe.

Bushie will do anything really to extend the poisonous tentacles of greedy American corporations that chew people up and spit them out .

Its becoming more curious all the time.

The reality is that most countries and their people do like the USA - It's the current government we have that they can't stand. And, this includes both Democrats and Republicans.

For years I supported Bush as he is our President - But, now I see him as just a damn fool.

The sad part is that we have no real worthy alternatives. Let's face it folks - None of the Democrat or Republican candidates are really any good. It is amazing that in a country of 6 Billion people, we cannot find a really outstanding person that we can say "That's a President".

Time for a new political party...And, I am posting this elsewhere on this forum.

Does the abbreviation 'WTO' mean anything to you at all ?
I didnt think so.......
In a nutshell, the USA is making sure conditions in Mexico stay
bad for the corprorate bottom line. Google is your friend.
Do you see "millions" of people from civilized countries "waiting in
the wings" to migrate" ? Yeah....There are boatloads of Frenchies
and Swedes landing on the Jersey Shore right now....I see 500
sneaky Canadians swimming across Otter Creek in my back yard, too...

This out of their love and admiration for Bush's foreign policies??? All that flooding is being driven by economics and demographics. You might want to go learn something about those before you go running off on your shining-city-on-the-hill jog of the morning...
