>No, I'm not a US citizen, but with so much news about next elections I often forget.

I don't think I've never seen the election so high on everyone's radar as long as I can remember.
I guess when you have such colorful/controversial figures involved, it's not that surprising. You got Hilary Clinton and John Kerry still talking like he'll try again in 2008. And don't forget John Edwards.

Don't think I can live through 24 elections in one year.

Yup. But if there can be only one super power, I'm glad it the United States. What if North Korea was the super power? Worst yet, what if Iran was the super power.

I know I can live with an communist atheist. But to have a religion FORCED down my throat... I rather die.

Come on you can't fault the man for having the Texas grin and a Texan's swagger.

I yeah get the feeling that he is a little more serious this term. I guess becuase he doesn't have to worry about getting reelected... he's using his political capital. ;)
