mocrats -- have been lobbying the federal
government for years for the authority to collect sales taxes from online
sales.The issue is getting bigger for states as more people make purchases
online. Last year, Internet sales in the U.S. totaled $226 billion, up
nearly 16 percent from the previous year, according to Commerce Department
estimates.The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates that states
lost $23 billion last year because they couldn't collect taxes on out-of-state

particularly classified documents, to emerge," Knott said. "And then you
get a fuller, more complete picture of a presidency.Presidential historian
Douglas Brinkley said he wasn't surprised by Bush's rising approval rating.We
pummel presidents when theyre in the White House," said Brinkley, whose
2007 book "The Great Deluge" was critical of Bush's handling of the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. "We give them a hard time. Then they
leave and they write a memoir that becomes an instant bestseller. Journalists
ask softball questions, and then they open up a presidential library. And
people forgive a lot of the mistakes and say, Hey, he brought
our country through some tough times.'"The toughest time for Americans during
Bush's presidency was Sept. 11, 2001, when Al Qaeda hijacked and crashed
