The numbers for malaria and the like have improved dramatically since 2001, but of course other actors like Britain deserve credit for that as well. Anyone have the nerve to sit through a Kerry speech? Who cares, he was there to counter Bill Clinton's speech and didn't at all. Only brought up Africa and how he didn't put the Kyoto treaty through the senate or something. Which is odd seeing how Bush refuses sign the Kyoto treaty. Then he attacked his time actually talking. | ||

You still have to give credit where it's due, and the Republican party deserves most of the credit for our national budget that GWB inherited and raped. The Republican Congress that nearly balanced the budget with Clinton in the late 90s was fundamentally the same as the Republican Congress that raped America's coffers with GWB in the early '00s. Gingrich deserves some credit, but the rest of the party? I don't think so. | ||

 On the whole, I think Congress has done a shitty job for quite a while now, which means both Democrats and Republicans are to blame. | ||
