Bush Lauds Economy in Battleground States ....??????(catastrophic success)

[RedEarth]

NASHUA, N.H. - President Bush (news - web sites) boasted Monday of unemployment "dropping every second" in New Hampshire, the lone Northeastern state he won in 2000 and one where an awakening economy could help him in November.



Bush said the jobless rate in the state had declined to 3.8 percent in July from 3.9 percent in June, citing a figure not adjusted for seasonal changes. The seasonally adjusted figure stayed at 3.9 percent.


Either way, the rate is considerably below the national average of 5.5 percent, below other states in the region and below New Hampshire's July 2003 rate of 4.3 percent.


As his Republican Party opened the convention that will nominate him this week in New York, Bush opened a three-day, six-state campaign dash that will bring him to the city late Wednesday. From New Hampshire, he headed to Michigan.


The president rehearsed his Thursday night acceptance speech Monday morning before leaving the White House, but he mentioned the convention only in passing here. He noted that John McCain, who won New Hampshire in his 2000 primary contest against Bush, would address the gathering Monday night.

2. He says things that sound good, like a used car salesman

but he never tells the truth about anything. When he is called on it, his handlers make excuses about how he didn't/ know one would have known, and shit like that.

5. Dummbass foot.

He must like the taste of his foot. The more he quips off the cuff the better. Anyone that isn't Bushmoonie will get the drift that he is a loony.

6. After 4 years of this mess...

Why would an "awakening" economy make anybody vote for Bush now? Even if it WERE awakening! If you've been out of work for 3 years and you get a job Sept 2004, this makes you think BUSH should have another shot?

I dunno, they say people think like this. I wouldn't.
