Sorry Rummy, but to blame "the economy" as "damage done by the current 
occument" is neither honest, and is certainly not a "concrete fact". The 
"occupant" doesn't prepare the budget. He may approve it, and probably 
should have junked a lot of what was in there, but it was a joint effort 
(for what it's worth, I don't like his ecnomics myself).

You can't ride Brad's back on the "foreign policy" "damage", he didn't 
list any. The notion that a few third world countries "don't like us" 
isn't foreign policy "damage", at least not in MY view. On the other 
hand, years of ignoring treaty violations, THAT's a foreign policy 
nightmare. It's ironic that the left seems to decry a President doing 
exactly what he said he was going to do as a "foreign policy nightmare". 
Guess that's what foreign policy has become, expectations of ignored 
warnings.

But I'm beginning to ramble. The request was for concrete facts about 
the "damage" done by the "current occupant". You've not provided any.
