No doubt the 1st 4 years have been a terrible. I still find it amazing that people will continue to vote for someone who is taking the country down a road it may never recover from. 4 more years of this and we'll really be in bad shape. Down the road when historians look back at his term(s), it won't be favorable. In fact, I think it will be a confirmed "DISASTER".....

What road is that? Bush took us down a road as well, we can see the disaster that we arrived at. What you seem to be claiming is that our positioning a man who really has no clue about foreign policy and will not deliver specifics on domestic policy is somehow more reasonable than what we are doing now.


I think it is interesting that many on the right (I am not necessisarily meaning you) seem to be able to see the past from the future. Historians will look back upon this term and confirm it a disaster? Upon what do you base this?

And for purchases of such systems, the Trade Agreements Act, not the Buy America Act, applies, according to Federal Acquisition Service officials, who added that only the Bureau of Customs, now a part of the Department of Homeland Security, could make a determination of [Trade Agreements Act] compliance.

Dumped solar panels on the US market at below manufacturing cost to force American manufacturers to go bankrupt?

Boohoo, deal with it. That's not unfair, it's just a risky business strategy that worked. Unfair is awarding $1bn for infringment of a handful of absurd patents.
