Time for effect... this isn't all President Bush's problem, this comes from the Clinton administration too. I agree with or statement but we are divided and people are dumb.... just plan ignorant. I don't know exact figures but i agree, more white people will have to vote democratic ( some 30-40% of white voters) to win. But no one needs to take an I.Q. test to vote either. Congress is left wing, but the president is right. This isn't an monarchy, We do have checks and balances. The United States Government is more than one person, and its going to take more than one person to CHANGE it. The President doesnt necessarly determine the party of the country. By no means is this the Republican party's fault.
It is under the rug, because no media organization cares what the republicans want in the open or under the rug, as much as they do for the democrates (with the exception of fox news). And voters know only what we are told.... unless we are smart enough to think around and outside of the box.
