I absolutely believe the article. You didn't address the content. I doubt you even read it. The rest of your comments are presumptions in ignorance. "AOL" in the link is irrelevant. Just concede you hate Bush and the article has merit.

dude, i read it. i could hardly contain the laughter it inspired.

i do hate bush, i never said anything but. but i'd sooner concede that my skin is black before i agreed to that article having merit

Is that a dig at black skinned ppl? If you disagree with the article then make your case. It's no more invalid then the rants you see on this thread calling Bush the devil.

no, that's a "look at how damn white i am, i couldn't possibly be anything but blindingly white". don't be a racist

At this point I’m just tired. If there were at least some factual basis to the claims made by this crazed Bush hater I might enjoy the debate, but when if an argument is based on lies, ignorance and willful distortion…there is no debate.

"It's the economy stupid." Bill Cliton said of his presidential rival George Bush in 1992. Cliton won in a landslide that year. 16 years later, in a similar situation, Democrats are bound to win in landslide as well.

Democrats will have to undo any damage done by fiscally stupid Republicans in monitoring the house mortage sector, skyrocking oil prices, the falling dollar, and lower industrial production.

Take a look at the current stock exchange in this article.

The unemployment rate jumps to 5%, with a payroll increase that's the weakest since August 2003. Nasdaq tumbles after an Intel downgrade. Wendy's sales decline.

The Labor Department reported this morning that nonfarm payrolls rose by a mere 18,000 in December 2007, far fewer than economists had expected. It was the weakest month-to-month change since August 2003.

Stocks slumped on the grim report, pulled back from earlier lows after the Federal Reserve announced that it will conduct two $30 billion credit auctions later this month and then continued to fall. At 12:45 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell below 13,000, down 183 points, or 1.4%, to 12,873.

The Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 68 points, or 2.6%, to 2,534, partly on a downgrade of tech bellwether Intel (INTC, news, msgs). The Standard & Poor's 500 Index had lost 24 points, or 1.6%, to 1,423. Light, sweet crude oil pulled back from the $100 level this morning, after crossing it for a second time on Thursday. Oil was down $1.11 to $98.07 a barrel.

The consensus estimate was for a gain of 58,000 jobs last month, although analysts' estimates had ranged broadly, with some reaching as high as 85,000 new jobs.

Nonfarm payrolls were revised upward to a gain of 115,000 in November from a previous reading of a gain of 94,000.

The unemployment rate jumped to 5.0%, up from the 4.7% in November, and up from 4.4% in December 2006.

A recession coming?
"These jobs data are the strongest evidence so far that the economic expansion is grinding to a halt," Peter Morici, professor at the University of Maryland School of Business and former chief economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission, wrote in a note to clients this morning.

"Slow jobs growth, along with the shortages of mortgage and business credit, declining home prices and residential construction, and falling industrial production, indicate the risk of a recession for 2008 is high," Morici continued.

Morici expects the Fed to "aggressively cut interest rates to combat the U.S. slowdown," but warns that "the Federal Reserve is in crisis, because its mix of policies addresses an old-style recession."

I am disgusted about these people that go around bashing Bush on a daily basis. They should be awarded a medal of stupidity. Whatever happened to respect for the president in office?
Oh yes, I forgot the ones that are protesting are against anything moral in this country. Stem cell research? It has already been proven that adult stem cells are more viable then fetus stem cells. The overplay of this issue shows the ignorance of those protesting. The war in Iraq — I didn’t see a draft, did you? These honorable men and women that CHOOSE to serve this country are over there fighting for the right for us back at home to bicker over such babble (one of our many luxuries that we take for granted everyday by the way). In addition, the liberation of Iraq was a good thing. What do these people want? Do they want to hand over Iraq to al Qaeda? That would be utterly beyond stupid. That means men have died in vain. And, of course evolution taught in schools. Remember that Darwin’s theory is a THEORY. Most people do believe in intelligent design. To NOT teach intelligent design as a possibility is dishonest since evolution has not and cannot be proven to be true. These people are a bunch of bleeding heart liberals that have nothing better to do than to hate someone they will never meet, let alone ever really know. Perhaps they should examine their hatred for Bush than focusing on their own selfish agendas. Gee, why don’t they blame him for the hurricanes too. That is what liberals do. They play the blame game. It is a bunch of complaining, and empty rhetoric and they offer no real tangible solutions. Get over it, people, he won, and he is doing a darn fine job. 60 million people voted for him, so deal with it, and grow up.
