Bush does have one of the lowest popularity ratings in history. To his benefit though, Congress' is much lower. I'll have to check to see who controls both houses of congress...
1 in 10 Americans going to bed hungry. I'd like to see a legitimate source for that. Hell, I went to bed hungry last night; by choice. If someone truly goes to bed hungry, it's probably from ignorance. There's food pantries all over the country. There's not a night that goes by that I don't see a "free food" advertisement from the Dept. of Agriculture (food stamps).
Obama hasn't told us the war is "illegal"....when he says it, I might believe it. (or even Hillary)
How one can connect a war and health insurance is quite interesting. There's no correlation at all.

Are all these plus a lot more just made from Communist far left wingers or what ? Acknowledge the facts and dont think just because YOU are welfeeded then all others have the exact same situation in their lives in your country.
Are these links legitimate enough for you or what?
How much money has it been used on that war which is not wanted any more and has not been wanted in the last four years actually.......If one tenth of that huge amount was used on universal health plans for all americans....Would that not solve a great part of the problem at least?
