I hope all you guys that voted Republicans see what happens and take notes. Bush gave no bid contracts, broke the military to kill one man, didn't catch Bin Laden, mass inflation, Katrina, Trying to get oil reserves for his friends before he leaves office, billions in Iraq for Cheney's old companies, gas prices were 1.40 when this fool took office. Everything they said about Iraq turned out to not be true.
