George Will this morning in the Washington Post ( and elsewhere, I assume ). Then, E J Dionne, in the same paper, writes about how Democrats must find a reason for people to support them that doesn’t include George Bush. As a reader to National Review said this AM, adding his comment to Dionne’s column:
BUSH: Two wars, Gitmo open, Don’t ask, don’t tell, Patriot Act, Stocks:14,000, Unemployment 4.5%
OBAMA: Two wars, 60,000 more troops, Gitmo open, Don’t ask, don’t tell, Patriot Act extended, Stocks 10,000, unemployment 10%
He ended by saying the Democrats don’t need Bush, America does.
BTW, new unemployment figures reported this morning were HIGHER than expected.
How is it that no one “expexts” anything when evidence shows the road we are headed down? Us non-experts EXPEXT unemployment to rise, as we continue to see the evidence of businesses not being able to function in Obama’s utopia of free-healthcare for all. We are connecting the dots. Why are the experts doing so as well?
BUSH: In November of 2008 the Dow dropped to about 7500.
OBAMA: Currently the Dow is at a 14 month high.
Plus the unemployment rate dropped throughout Bush’s entire last year in office. Let’s play straight with the numbers, Kirby.
The U6 unemployment figure is MUCH higher and far more honest.
