Once again the numbers are in and it is obvious that America is on to the cheap suit that is George W. Bush.
Take for example the latest numbers from today’s Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
Poll Highlights include:
In the matter of healthcare: 76% OF AMERICANS CALL INCREASED HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND LOWER COSTS “AN […]
