Is this how Bush feels?

Para, I was hoping to hear from you. I have a little better understanding now, but like someone else here said, he could've picked a better choice of words.

Have you ever noticed that we don't care what words our friends choose, but we jump on any words someone else might use? ;~D

Thnx for the "best response"!

I completely agree with you! There is going to be a major need for a clean up after he leaves office. He has just made a complete mockery of our government and our values as a nation.

I agree mamasan..who ever is the next president has alot of cleaning up to do after Bush screwed everything up!

I don't think that what the people wanted was ever important to President Bush. How he can serve and profit Corporate America is Bush's sole purpose. He was elected by people who like some of the things that he said (My step son-in-law and step daughter voted for him solely on his views on abortion) and that the Democratic Party didn't pick a stronger candidate to oppose him.

I just wrote some insurance policies for a Canadian couple, her hubby works for a company that transferred him here, and I have to say I feel bad for them. They are from Vancouver, and I have to say after listening to them it makes me wonder why on Earth the guy accepted the job transfer. The real eye opener was this. We were talking about the community they will be living in, and I was answering questions for them. They're really great people, and over the course of the conversation I suggested to them that they purchase a $2 million dollar "umbrella" policy. They have a lot of assets, bought an expensive house, paid cash for 2 new cars, etc..and while I was talking to them I was thinking these two have a target on their back for a lawsuit. While I was explaining what an umbrella policy is the husband looked at me and said.."So it is true, Americans are sue happy. That's what we hear in Canada." My reply was "They don't have warnings telling you it's hot on the side of a McDonalds coffee cup for nothing." I have to say I was almost envious of the life they had in Canada.

That's part of the talk I had with my new clients that blew me away also. We were talking about their new home, they paid $182,900 for it, and I told them that we've had an influx of people from Chicago because that same house would probably be close to a million in a closer suburb. They laughed and said they felt like they were getting a "steal" because in Vancouver that house would've easily been $2 million. I was kinda surprised to find out that the cost of living in Canada is so much higher.

This Canadian also says,"I have a Farm in Ontario (near Toronto) and a Mobile Home near McAllen, Texas. We live in Texas during Canada's winter months. We absolutely Love Life in Texas. Sure is wonderful when you have Bananas and Grapefruit growing in your backyard. And we Enjoy our American Neighbors! Everyone gets along Famously.Its less costly to live in Tx. than in Canada. Taxes are lower and food is cheaper. WE enjoy fresh fruit and veggies, grown in the Rio Grande Valley, and the proximity to Mexico keeps the prices down.Also Restaurant prices are lower because of Cheap Labor in the Border State.So we think we have the Best of Both worlds! Texas is a Great Place to Live!"

I see Vladilyich already pointed this fact out. I answered your discussion straight from my email where we don't see the responses. Sorry about that. ‹(°¿°)›
