Craig,

if George signs it, does it mean that he owes the whole $9 trillion to the 
American people?

George has now become "the incompetent"


"His strong points as a president were being seen as personally credible, 
as a strong leader. That has all but disappeared," said Andrew Kohut, 
director of the Pew Research Center, whose latest independent poll found a 
dramatic decline in Bush's credibility.

A majority of Americans, 56 percent, believe Bush is "out of touch," the 
poll found. When asked for a one-word description of Bush, the most 
frequent response was "incompetent," followed by "good," "idiot" 
and "liar." In February 2005, the most frequent reply was "honest."

"The transformation from being seen as honest to being seen as incompetent 
is an extraordinary indicator of how far he has fallen," Kohut said
