Granted, there are a lot of things to fix in this country: stuff Bush did, stuff Bush didn't do, stuff Bush inadvertently caused because he's a dipshit. There are also long-standing issues that the Chimperor never addressed, but neither did anyone before him. So, let's take a look at some of all of the above that have come to mind recently.
