Bush Most Successful President in 70 Years!

At losing jobs, that is. Job growth ground to a halt in July -- down to a miniscule 32,000 jobs; which is far lower than expected. Also, the number of jobs created in May and June has been revised downward by nearly 20% from 347,000 to just 283,000. More bad news: weekly pay for rank-and-file workers over the past year has risen only 2.4%, which is significantly less than the 3% inflation rate. In other words, most people are falling behind in real dollars. Bush is almost certain to become the first President in 72 years to run for reelection after presiding over an economy that has fewer jobs than when he entered office. The last one was Herbert Hoover, who had to deal with the Great Depression. Needless to say, Hoover lost.
