"W" breaks FDR's record!

Apparently, according to Dave Zweifel at The Capital Times, George Bush has been President for 34 years, making this the mid-term of his 9th consecutive 4-year term!:

"If these press reports were truly objective, they'd go on to explain why the national railroad hasn't made money. It's because throughout those 34 years it has been starved to a mere shadow of what it could be by an uncaring Congress and officials in the executive branch who can't see beyond paving the land with more concrete.

Those officials, in the form of the George Bush-appointed Amtrak board of directors, fired the railroad's president last week. David Gunn had resisted the half-baked plan to split the passenger rail service into several regional segments, cutting off service to a vast expanse of the United States."

I suppose for those on the left, 6 years probably feels like 34!
