What you talkin' 'bout?

My 401K is up about 15% so far this year. I could GARA about foreclosures. Just means more affordable houses on the market.

"He said Bush was shackled by the public reaction and the criticism he took. Bush was more malleable to that. The implication was that Bush had gone soft on him, or rather Bush had hardened against Cheney's advice. He'd showed an independence that Cheney didn't see coming. It was clear that Cheney's doctrine was cast-iron strength at all times -- never apologize, never explain -- and Bush moved toward the conciliatory."

What are you bitching at BO about? Bush's term isn't even over for almost a month.
