Here's an interesting chart from the Gallup Poll, beginning in 1969, showing that for recent history, the period Clinton was president, until Bush took over, there was increasing satisfaction with the direction of the country. Then under Bush, eight years steadily downhill, with a low of seven percent satisfaction at the end of Bush's second term, with some improvement now under Obama.

UNBELIEVABLE. Another media zero gesturing frantically for attention - one of an endless parade of awkward contortionists and GOP court jesters, trying to justify Trump's childish and dangerous temperament, and hoping against hope someone will take him seriously. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Democrats using *human shields*....
