Increase spending for impoverished people and nations.

Their leader just put it in Swiss banks. The people never see it.

decrease pork barrel spending for public works, government, and state programs.

Only Congress controls spending. A President can't spend or decrese spending by a dime.

Increase spending in education

Was proposed to Congress and has passed and signed by the President.

increase spending on science and technology specifically aimed at the Aerospace industry

Proposed. Congress is holding it up in Commitees.

I'd try to create partnerships with foreign nations in joint venture projects to increase the living conditions of all peoples of the world

Answered above. It is not in our power to get these tin horn Dictators to feed and educate their people. They just bank the money we send them.

I would streamline the military whilst reducing the budgetary spending, but increasing the efficiency of every dollar spent to create a better military with less money....

Again answered above. Congress has a vested interest in saving Bases, spending money on unneeded equipment, and yet you blame the President. Congresses Pork = Votes.

You seem to think a President has more powers than he is afforded under the Consitution. It's clear you are truly indoctrinated and the above responses wil be laughed off as nothing more than the rantings of a Right Wing Radical. I'm an Independant who understand how the Government works. You don't like President Bush, vote him out, elect Gore, have the same situation still in place, but you can say that your man is in and everything is fine.

Did I say anywhere that these goals were realistic? No

Did I imply to you that this would occur in the US? No

Did I imply to you that I am pro-Bush? No

Did I imply to you to comment on my statements? NO

Thanks

though you do seem to know your politics and I commend you on that effort, however the question was what would you do if you were president...

Not what would you do if you were president in America, or a president that has to answer to congress etc....

I do realize this was about BUsh, but I purposely made my statements very general and indeed they may overlap with what Bush is aiming for, I do think that Bush is screwy when it comes to the environment, foreign diplomacy, SS, the surplus etc...

thanks

BB

Did I imply to you to comment on my statements? NO

In an idealist's world, no one would need comment. In a realist's world, it simply needs stating. I too have a lot of I'd's. It's refreshing, but only for a moment. When, or if, we brirg the I'd into reality, perhaps change for the better can become reality.

Thanks

You're welcome.

Why do we even post on these threads that are started for no other reason than to cause conflict and flaming?

Does fultonhoward (a full 3 posts into his Neowinian career), really consider himself a top notch political analyst? Is he secretly some political expert working from inside the Whitehouse staffroom? Is he DNC? Some foriegn propogandist?

Who is fultonhoward, and why should we care about such a generalized, unsubstantiated post?

Just curious...

:D maybe i'm biased, but bush seems to be getting the europeans preety mad. the tarrif against european steel backfired on him and now the europeans are refusing to buy our steel! :p

man, i'm from europe, but don't think our leaders are better. as long there are leaders there will also be someone to complain about them.

(i must agree with you: the taxes on european steel were a bad move, and the europeans are angry on this)

there is so much to say about what i don't like about our leaders, but what can we do...almost nothing, we ellected them, now we must live with them. we can only change them after they will finish their government period and hope the next who will come will do better.

yeah, that steel thing was out of order. In the UK our steel industry colapsed and loads of poeple lost their jobs, same with coal, ship building, car manufacturing and so on. We didn't impose tarrifs, just to try and protect ourselves from natural economic forces.

I get the feeling that Bush doesn't really want to see the bigger picture, he's too pro American anti-everyone else. What I'd like to know is he say that any country that harbours terrorists will get turned over by the US, does that mean he'll invade the UK as we have the IRA who have been blowing people up for over 20 years now and have been funded by American money? :(

now I'm angry :disappoin

    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless. A built-in digital processor adjusts frequency response to keep the sound balanced rather than overly boosted in any one area. They also include Active Noise Cancelling that adapts to your surroundings to reduce background noise along with a Transparency mode that lets outside sound in when you need awareness of what’s going on around you. Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content. Moreover, built-in voice-targeting microphones improve call quality. You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates. On Android devices, they support Google Fast Pair, Audio Switch between compatible devices, and Google Find My Device tracking, with additional features available through the Beats app. When it comes to the battery performance, it is rated at up to 40 hours of listening time with ANC turned off, and up to 24 hours with ANC or Transparency mode enabled. A 10-minute Fast Fuel charge should provide up to 4 hours of playback. Finally, the headphones use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charge via USB-C.

    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
