President Bush returned to Washington D.C. on Monday following a post-election weekend rest at Camp David. Winning the popular vote for the first time in his presidency has put Bush in a positive mood and eager to pursue a vigorous "right wing agenda that will cause liberals to run screaming into the ocean in an attempt to escapes to Europe."

Despite the president's positive outlook, the U.S. dollar has continued to weaken around the world, falling in value to the euro which is now worth approximately $1.30, up from $1.19 in May. Critics of President Bush see the devaluing dollar as proof that his economic vision is short sighted and doomed to failure on a global scale.

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin gave a speech on Monday night warning of an accelerated decline of the dollar and a rise in interest rates if the federal budget deficit isn't tackled. "If I were still at the Treasury, I'd be a strong advocate of a strong dollar policy," Rubin said, "which ironically enough would have ensured President Bush fired me from the job."

Some of the president's most rabid supporters don't agree with his way of handling matters either. Author and pundit Ann Coulter, a neofascist hatemonger and Bush lover, even admitted that a John Kerry presidency would have been "better for business" in a recent Time Magazine article. The statement came as a surprise to many who had no idea Coulter was capable of rational thought.
