I will say, when you have low expectations it is very hard to be dissapointed - maybe this is the case?
It's just the rest of the world seems to have finally woken up (excluding you that is). Hell, even some of his supporters here on IW elected our current president! Either ways, he's out, we're all happy he is out, and things can only get better from the cesspool of crap that happend in the last (almost) decade. Thus, like I told you, his legacy is written. I think his points may change in the future yes, I think they will go down as the economy hums on. I wouldn't be surprised to find him in the 39 region after a few months. But like you, I will take 36 as sealing this guys circus of a run and count my lucky blessings that we didn't allow him to reach 42 on the list by changing the game in the house.
C-span is usually quite accurate and nuetral from what I have seen? (you said you just finished reading it yourself).

Love, hardly, but he was the best man available for the position, and that I will puncture the heart with, (or to the death for clarification). Like me, he doesn't sugar coat anything, nor did he smile at you, just told it straight. With that, and understanding how many of you disliked him, our understanding that he could not bring things about in such a limited time, allowed us to accept the fact that he would be ridiculed, and those that supported him as well, for eternity. However, to land 36th overall, and 24th and 25th in the areas that many had personal dissatisfaction with is truly remarkable. Even for C-SPAN, which you well might know has some ethical dilemmas of it's own right, and a couple titles, one of which earned them a "ethical dunce" award in 2005. But, hey I understand that as well, nobody, or entity is perfect right? So then, why should the raters who put a known crook who was impeached at 15, and a high ranked leader at 36? Well again, money makes the world go around, and C-SPAN is owned by National Cable Satellite Corporation, who by the way, has a Kennedy as a senior officer.
As the economy fails, the US sinks into an even deeper deflation tail spin, the current cabinet will be at the helm, spending trillions and flying around the continent on the taxpayers credit like life is grand, and throwing more money at things can only make it better. Soon, the US government will own everything through bailout money, and everybody who voted for the bama-rama will wonder how the heck did we become a socialist government! Then in a few years, we will re-look the presidents by rank, and see where G.W. Bush lands as a person who did what needed to be done, in an attempt to serve justice to all, and leadership when real situations were present.
Besides, who gives a rats ass about what the world thinks of us anyway? It is the US who has become the world order, police, and saviour of all situations! If we want to enjoy our capitalist lifestyle, then how dare somebody say we can't!
I leave you with: What would happen if we didn't answer the call?
