 I don't think so. Bush is not my favorite, but he is very experienced in
 developing teams he works with well. This business application of
 knowledge is used by both athletic coaches, some universities and many
 businesses.
 
 Are you one of the people who is trashing the U.S.?

I do agree that Bush can surround himself with intelligent people, but I am
worried that the people that he has put in those positions have their own
motivations and vision of what this country should be like, and that those
visions are NOT in the best interests of the masses but rather the political
elite. I DO NOT want a war with ANY country, I want the US to stop reying on
non-renewable energy sources, and I want most of all the civil rights of the
individual to be protected at all costs. Since Bush has been in office, his
actions and policies have shown to be the complete opposite of these ideals.

As for the comment asking me if I am one of the people who is "trashing the
US", well, if "trashing the US" means that I am pissed off about the things I
see happening every day in the US, have the wherewithal to speak my mind
about it, and am feeling extremely helpless about where this country is
going, then, yes I suppose I am. If it means anything other than that, then I
would expect a less biased and more open-minded outlook towards opposing
views from someone involved in this group!

Peace and happy building!
