Maniac, I have to chime in here. You mentioned a liberal not running a good economy. I remind you of the facts. This country has had two recessions under Republican presidents named George Bush, one a moderate conservative, another a radical conservative. Neither one seems to have any idea about what it takes to make an economy strong. One (Old 41) said :"Read my lips, no new taxes", broke that promise, and then seemingly sat back and remained completely out of touch while the economy tanked in 1990, 91, and 92. Under Bill Clinton, we had low unemployment, record stock market growth, a strong economy, and plentiful jobs. While he was not perfect, he turned the country around from the recession in the early 90s under George HW Bush. Since 2001, this country has been marred in first a recession, and then a terribly slow recovery under George W Bush. Unemployment went from 4.2% on the day this Bush took office to a high of 6.4, and now stands at 5.6. Over 2 million people have lost their jobs since this "president" took office. We have gone from a budget surplus under Bill Clinton, to a deficit, and engaged in a war where Mr Bush 43 insisted that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, but none were ever found, and now he passes it off with the excuse that "Our intelligence told us Saddam had them." Looking at the facts, how can one possibly state that this guy should be re-elected? The fact is that when a person doesnt do their job right, they are fired, and John Kerry said it right last week when he said and I quote:" Only one American deserves to be jobless, and it is George W Bush" Iam a fair person, and I would say this even if a Democrat were in office. Carter is a great humanitarian, but was not a good president, and was fairly removed. Bush 41 was out of touch, the economy had recessed, and was in an anemic recovery in 1992, so he was rightfully defeated. The fact is that a president with a record such as Bush 43 should not be re elected. We will not recover 2.3 million jobs between now and election day, he has brought us from a surplus to a deficit through his war, and tax cuts that benefit only the wealthy. The economy has recessed, and is in a painfully slow "recovery" where people dont have jobs. The fact is that I would rather give liberal John Kerry or anyone else a try over this guy. He just hasnt done his job, the facts prove it, and he should not be re- elected. One other fact on the topic of jobs during the Bush administration. We have lost more jobs during this president's term in office, and this president has the worst record of creating jobs since Herbert Hoover. Do you think that anyone would have re-elected Hoover in 1932? While I'm not saying the economy now is as it was in the depression, the jobs situation states a fact. I have heard that things are so bad, over 300,000 have left the work force and arent even looking for jobs anymore. Clearly, one can see what these facts state, that we need a new president come November.
