Joking and side-discussions aside,

Quote:
Thursday’s annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care-the Bureau’s principal report card on the well-being of average Americans-closes the books on the economic record of George W. Bush.

It’s not a record many Republicans are likely to point to with pride.

On every major measurement, the Census Bureau report shows that the country lost ground during Bush’s two terms. While Bush was in office, the median household income declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked. By contrast, the country’s condition improved on each of those measures during Bill Clinton’s two terms, often substantially.


Plus two unfinished wars, failure to catch our greatest enemies, costs of everything spiking, major stock market collapse, failure to enact any meaningful domestic policy objectives.

Heck of a Job, Bush.

The Bush lagacy: Some doofless jerk dodging a pair of shoes.


Or better yet, his legacy will be that of the moron who kept reading a child's story for 7.5 minutes after being told that the country is under attack.
