somehow

two and a half years, feb. 2001 to aug. 2003, have completely disappeared, like the two months the weapons inspectors were in iraq just before bush invaded. those inspectors that bush claimed saddam "wouldn't let in", so he had to invade. bush's job creation rate is not enough to keep even with population growth. fox in wonderland.

God...

... I really hope this 'cut-and-run' slogan goes away. Where're the Republicans when it came to Katrina? Did they cut-and-run...oh yeah, they just showed up really late. 9/11? Oh yeah... they just showed up late on that one too...

Republicans: "Better Late Than Never!" Hmmmm... I have to work on that. How about "Clearing Brush While the World Burns!"... Nah...

Did anyone catch Ann Coulter on John Gibson's show?

Proving once again how "fair and balanced" FOX is they feature creature Ann Coulter today on Gibson's "Big Story."

Good News!

BARTIROMO: So, with all that good news, the obvious question, of course, Chris, is: Well, if everything is going so well, how come the poll numbers are so weak?

I took a big bag of Republican talking points and "Good News" down to my bank today, and all I got from the teller was her 2 cents.

And I burned a buck fifty in gas to get there and back, so I'm out $1.48.

Could those "weak" poll numbers be a sign (or an omen, from the GOP P.O.V.) that Americans are starting to lean towards the reality based world?

They better start shoveling some more coal on that Good News Express.

BUSH JOB NEWS

... that nobody tells you.

FIRST, they never include the jobs LOST when Bush took office, over 3 million well-paying manufacturing jobs.

SECOND, they don't tell you that the jobs which have since replaced those good jobs are service sector jobs, paying 23% LESS than the jobs lost.

THIRD, they claim 80% of Americans are now interested in seeing Wall Street's DOW do well, but don't say that 60% of those are in mutual funds which do not enjoy the "trading" and "dividend payouts" of those who "play" the market in the top 20% of wealth holders. The DOW peaking means only that there is even MORE money being taken in by our wealthiest citizens, just another BONUS from Bush to his contributors.

FOURTH, they LIE about average wages going UP, when wages are actually going down or stagnated, while the COSTS of living are skyrocketing, which takes all American citizen's standard of living DOWN. When necessities like gas and school tuition and heating oil and local taxes are skyrocketing, there is much less left of every paycheck for the working man (while the wealthy are cashing in on these bonanzas.)

FIFTH, like Reagan, any hint of "prosperity" or "growth" in America is an ILLUSION, because it is paid for dollar to dollar with BORROWING, which creates the false impression of progress. Like the guy with a new credit card, he can make purchases like a RICH guy for a while, until the bills come due.

SIXTH, they never report that holders of mutual funds took a huge hit (lost as much as 60% of their savings) when Bush took office. These losses have NEVER come back, which means of course that these Americans (most of that 80%) started out much worse off than before Bush took office.

Every day, in every way, the Bush Administration has worked HARD at one thing only: Looting America to give much more wealth to the already wealthy. That IT, that's their entire "economic plan" -- and it has worked tremendously. They are a success, at that ONE THING. The REST of America declines steadily.

Bush's Fuzzy Math

According to the Dept of Labor, the economy needs approx. 210,00o new jobs created each month to break even.In other words to off-set layoffs,firings,jobs going over seas,downsizing etc, 210,000 is the approx. breakeven number. Take 210,00 times it by 39 months (since Aug,o3) equals 8,190,000,Bush was gushing all over himself ballyhooing 6,600,ooo new jobs. But he forgot, or didn't know how to subtract, the breakeven number from the actual number which leaves him in the hole by 1,900,000 . Why is Aug 03,Bushs beginning point? What happened between Jan 01 till Aug 03? Oh that's right there was a net loss of 2,600,000 jobs! So in order to get the right picture you have to times 210,00 by 68,which equals 14,280,00, breakeven number. Then add 2,600,ooo( Jan 01-Jul03) to 1,900,00 =4,500,o00=jobs lost since Jan 01. Then take Bushs bragging number of 6,6oo,ooo new jobs created since Aug 03 and subtract 4,500,000 lost jobs from Bushs number of jobs created =2,10o,000 then divide by 68 = on avg 3,088 new jobs created each and every month since Jan 2001, by the Bush Job Machine!

don't waste your keystrokes

Anytime any of the Bushites are shown actual figures, they say "9-11 happened" and the interviewer lets them off the hook.

Correct me if wrong

Correct if I'm wrong,it's still dark out side,and will be till the Faux Texas Cowboy wonders off in the sunset!

Bush "The Job president"!

Or you could look at it this way, Bush has created on average ,60 new jobs per month,per state since Jan 01

Don't know what you are using for a calculator

but 2,600,000/68/50 works out to 765 0n mine. Not a great number, but over 12x the number you tout.

oops,

try 3,200,000/68/50 = 941 (15x your number)
