United America
Posted by Louis James on March 20, 2008
While many are going on and on about how we need to bring America and Americans back together again, recent evidence suggests that most American’s are united about a few things. Recent (and not so recent) polls show that nearly two-thirds (and sometimes many more) of Americans agree about the following . . .
1. Bush is a lousy president
2. Cheney is a lousy vice-president.
3. Congress is pretty lousy too.
4. The Iraq war sucks, and we should get troops out of Iraq right away.
5. The economy also sucks, and America is in a reccesion.
6. Oil prices are too high and are affecting American’s bottom line, and America needs to reduce it’s dependence on oil.
7. The world needs to lower the amount of greenhouse gases released into the air.
8. Americans would like to see a decrease in the number of illegal immigrants entering America.
9. The health care system in America needs revision.
10. FEMA could be doing more to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
That’s right TWO-THIRDS of American’s agree on the above things! Two-thirds is a landslide mandate in American politics these days. America seems rather united to me, despite what you see going on in the debates in both houses of congress.
