With Everything the Bush Administration does it appears to be we take one step forward and twelve steps back. This is my log of those actions. I will list them after the link. But please feel free to list your own that you can come up with. And for all those who have differing opinions on the situation in Ohio, take a couple minutes to relax your fiery rhetoric, with a little ol' fashioned Bush Bashing. I know that I do enjoy it =O))
