why don't you learn to read. I just re-read my post. No defense of the Bush Administration anywhere in there. Also, I was comparing the leadership background of former President Carter with the lack of leadership experience of the incoming President. Whether you like it or not, the exportation of American jobs began in the Clinton Administration. Whether you like it or not, the current housing woes began in the Clinton Administration with the deregulation of the mortgage market. If you're going to comment on one of my posts, take the time to read the entire post so you don't spout off like a beached whale. The next time you want to chat about ignorance, save yourself some time and look in the mirror.
