Now that Obama has been in office for a while are you happy with what we have now? Go ahead I will wait............. Bush did a fine job the last year he was in office the economy started declining well what goes up must come down it was just timing. ?He kept us safe not only did he keep our country safe he kept others safe and no he did not finish what his dad started he did what he had to do and I support him. Obama has lied several times in speeches about not adding to our deficit and he has added a trillion in a year and if his health care bill goes through it is projected to add 3-5 trillion in the next 20 years. Honestlymost politicians are crooks the problem is finding out who is lieing the least. You could not wait for Bush’s term to end.

Will it be a majority going for the Democrats? I can't imagine too many of them supporting the Replublicans. They, like me, probably can't wait for Bush's term to end.

Will it be a majority going for the Democrats? I can’t imagine too many of them supporting the Replublicans.

They, like me, probably can’t wait for Bush’s term to end.

The problem is no one wants to work for the State Department- OR- their background would not be able to stand the scrutiny. It's completely different from what Singapore is facing in terms of growing a nation of bilingual speakers. There are millions of Arab-Americans, they are just not trusted by the US government. The issue here is far deeper than that of language. It is a lack of, and in fact, a refusal, to understand a culture other than one's own. There are a lot of Arabic speakers in the US believe me.
