"Which begs the question: who do you think would be the more incompetent president Bush or
Palin?

It's almost a toss up, but I think I'm going to have to go with Palin being worse."

If Bush had not done whatever Cheney told him to do, I think we would, surprisingly, have done
even worse.

Palin's behavior during the McCain campaign suggests Palin will not take instruction from anyone,
with perhaps the exception of Todd. So either Sarah or Todd would be president.

Nice choice.

The more outstandingly, and obviously stupid a media "celebrity" is,
the more people are inclined to comment.

And Sarah IS, above all else, a media celebrity, and should give thanks
every day to John McCain for the fabulous, multi million dollar wealth,
and "adoration" she is receiving now and in the future.

She is the "One", the "Messiah", of the wingding right.


And just as the wingding right gets "frothing at the mouth" over
Obama, so does the left just LOVE to mock her.

The door swings both ways, as always.

But, some things NEVER change.

And here's proof that Joe Biden is really a closet Canadian. Which in turn 'proves' that he's a liberalist, or a fascist, or a thingamajigist.
Heaven only knows why he was wearing sunglasses, though - the sun hasn't shone here since Wednesday.

Anyway, it's as good or better proof as there's been of 99% of what's been said so far on this thread.

And here is the Republican governor of Florida, Crist, HUGGING
Obama as a thank you for putting federal dollars from Obama's Stimulus Bill
directly into his State.

MANY republicans who voted AGAINST Obama's Stimulus bill now are
showing up at ribbon cutting ceremonies when projects, and jobs, are
created in their States.

Hypocrites

Apogee, it not photo shopped.

In fact, that photo is being used against Crist by his Obama hating opponents.

Just the thought of Florida receiving federal dollars to keep teachers
and firemen and police employed, schools open, infrastructure and jobs
creation, and tax credits for 90% of Florida taxpayers was too repugnant.

But, let's take a look at another "irrelevant fact", in this case the
graph shows job creation under Democrats and Republicans, part of Norton's
ongoing series of visual presentations of how overwhelmingly BETTER the
economy performs under Democrats.



Another one to suck on.

"What if I produced a chart of job growth under Bush 2002 - 2007, it would look wonderful, but

it really wouldn't tell the true story."

Gee Jeff.
That's surprising!

Well, let's take a look at the "validity" of Fattrad's claim that
job growth under the Bush administration was so good that he just
doesn't want to provide any statistics or chart for us to look at.


BUT, that kind of stuff is NOT good enough for Norton.

So, allow me to prove, conclusively, just how WRONG Fattrad is about
how the economy did when his Republicans were in charge.







"Job creation among the worst since Hoover Administration. A growing economy should be good news for those seeking jobs. But over the course of his term in office, President Bush is in a statistical dead heat with his father for the worst overall job creation record since Herbert Hoover more than 70 years ago.

Overall non-farm payroll employment has increased by just 5 million since President Bush took office in January 2001 compared with 22.7 million during the Clinton presidency.[46] Overall employment growth has averaged just 55,000 jobs per month under President Bush (or 0.5 percent per year)[47] - not even half of the 150,000 jobs needed each month to keep up with population growth. It was not uncommon to see monthly job gains of 300,000 and even 400,000 during economic expansions during the Clinton Administration.[48]

Private sector job creation has been especially poor during the Bush presidency, with only 3.4 million new non-governmental jobs created since 2001, an increase of only 0.4 percent per year.[49]


The Washington Times compared the slow job creation growth rate of private sector jobs under the "Bush era" with the 23 percent increase in private sector jobs during the Clinton presidency (an increase of more than 21 million new jobs).[50] The manufacturing sector, often the source of jobs with good pay and benefits, has lost 3.7 million jobs since the start of the Bush Administration.[51] Given the turbulence and uncertainty in the economy today, the pace of job creation is an ominous sign for future job creation for America's middle-class families.

The unemployment rate has increased 45 percent and long-term joblessness has nearly doubled. In part because of this failure to create a sufficient number of jobs, the national unemployment rate stands at 6.1 percent[52], 1.9 percentage points, or 45 percent, higher than the 4.2 percent rate when President Bush took office. This represents 9.4 million people who are officially counted as unemployed - over three million more people than were unemployed in January 2001.

For those who don't like to take the read to read stuff, a picture
says it all for them

Here, even a "conservative" should have little trouble seeing the
horrible "job growth" under Bush from 2000-2008.

Thus proving, again, this time visually, how WRONG Fatty is, again,

Lois...do the math...if you are capable. It's pretty easy to figure out on your own...Bush's 2009 budget was 3.1 trillion...not what is Obama's 2010 budget?

Come on...give it a try.
