    Holy Crap.... thats ... The "Amero" (joint currency between America, Mexico and Canada) was suppose to be floated late last year or early this year, before it got canned in 2009 because of leaks.

    when change looks inevitable might as well start to take ownership of the change to get what you want.

    Also the president with the greatest number of days spent on the golf course. This, while managing two wars and the greatest economic collapse since the great depression.

    I'm pretty sure that is only due to G.W. Bush's magnanimous gesture of giving up golf to "show solidarity" with the soldiers fighting in Iraq (which was, like, wow, so awesome of him).

    (Actually, I have no idea who's played more golf).

    It terms of total vacation time, Bush is still winning hands down.

    Doesn't matter how much time they have off - they're just figureheads. JFK was the last one to try and do something not guided by vested interests.
