Deregulation led to problems like the savings in loan scandal, The Enron embezzellement on WallStreet of over 400 billion American dollars, and now the tragic house mortgaging collapse. He was a horse bleep actor making such great movies as 'Bedtime For Bonzo', no wonder he was an idiot president.; Tuesday, April 1, 2008 3:00:00 AM CDT

Anonymous said...: See that?
He was President of the most powerful country in the world. And I'm only President of Kalmykia. Bah! - it's not even an independent country!

Susan, your mission is to go to America and addict everyone there to this religion called chess... set up a blog, take over the USCF, do anything and everything...
Then, as President of FIDE, I should have a real chance of taking this country over!; Tuesday, April 1, 2008 10:52:00 AM CDT
Grandi said...: Kirsan: See how much worse President was, compared to me?
Remember how much more ridiculed was in his time (and all over the world) than i am ?; Wednesday, April 9, 2008 4:16:00 AM CDT
