As the Bush Administration leaves office they are trying to lock our Nation into a Security Agreement with the Iraq Government effectively dictating our Iraq Occupation Policy even after they leave office. The Democratic Leadership can not let this happen. In 2006 the American Electorate gave the Democrats a majority in the House on the grounds that they wanted the occupation of Iraq to end.

So basically the White House got what they wanted again, just like the vote authorizing the Iraq War, Congre...

In a Special Heart to Heart Talk with the American People President George "Hoover" Bush addressed the Nation on the economic catastrophe that is facing the Nation because of his Republican Administration's lack of oversight and enforcement of the regulations upon the Corporations and Corporatist who support the deregulation of the "Free Markets" and the failed policies of the Republicans. President George" Hoover" Bush let the American People know that there is no choice but to accept his Republican Administration's Bailout Plan. The President told the American People that if they do not accept the Bailout Plan that is necessary because of 30 Years of Failed Republican Policies that the Nation will sink into a recession and lose millions of jobs, and not be able to send their children to college or to buy a new car, that doesn't sound much different than the way we have been living the last eight years under the Failed Policies of the Republic...
