you guys should lighten up, its only a joke.  Seems strange that its ok for some Americans to poke fun at other countries, then get all annoyed if someone does it back. :p

Yes, but the difference in our political systems is yours allowed you to get rid of him by the electorate and your length of term rules.

This clown we have could serve forever.  I've seen complaints about Bush's ability to speak well in his speeches.  Compared to Cretien who apparently speaks neither official language, Bush appears downright articulate and a master of verbal communication. ;)

Let's hope Cretien doesn't change his mind about retiring............

Housing market sucked? Care to provide some facts. I don't know where you live, but houses appreciated 70% under clinton.

Give me the avg price of a single family home b4 clinton, then after. Show me facts to back up your claim.

BTW, what does welfare have to do with it?

I can only tell you that I am a house builder and the intrest rates now are less than 5%

I was in and out of work during the clinton years and I am turning down work now.

Prices are much cheaper now due to intrest rates.
