ever since I could vote, this f*cker has been (p)resident. When I graduated college, it was hard as hell to find a job during the economic "slowdown" of 2002-2003. :mad:

2000 was a horrible letdown, and in 2004, I actually cried when they announced the results. I was at work at the time, and my very Republican boss was crowing about how it was "a great day for America!" I managed to hold my tears in until he left, thankfully, and sat at my desk weeping until a coworker of mine who's a few decades older than me, came to my office (probably to check on me - we few Democrats had to stick together in that place!) and said he made it through the Nixon and Reagan years, and wasn't going to let Bush defeat him.
