I'm not your best pick to talk about politics with, but I feel that we're
going to find president Bush starting to do lots of different things in the
next 20 months, that we will question about.  After September 11th, he had a
high rate (like 92% once I believe) if it was November 2004, he could have
easily won his second term, but however it came at a wrong time, so now he
has to maintain the numbers for the next two years.  But however a weak
stock market isn't helping, so he has to win votes by other ways.  No I'm
not for either party, but I think I understand enough to know what he's
doing.

Thanks,
Anthony

  I agree with you.  Considering that those disabled who don't have jobs and
  aren't retirement age (65) and most of them are on Medicaid which pays for
  some prescriptions, that was not an appropriate way to mark the ADA
  anniversary.  It was just PR, in my opinion.
