President George W. Bush, an experienced cheerleader, was optimistic about our nation's economy at the Republican National Convention last week.
He always is. "I think our economy has got very strong underpinning," he said. "We've certainly gone through a correction. But there are signs we're improving."

Yep, that's what Bush said -- more than three years ago, on Aug. 23, 2001, and that's what he's still saying. As our economy slowly sinks into the abyss created by Bush's spendthrift ways, he keeps telling us how much it's improving.

Boola, boola!

Give Bush credit for chutzpah. No lie is too outrageous for him to repeat over and over again, such as his endlessly repeated implication that Saddam Hussein was somehow in cahoots with Osama bin Laden and the Sept. 11 crimes.

After a shaky start, Bush got his reputation as a leader on Sept. 14, 2001, when he grabbed a bullhorn at ground zero in New York and shouted into it: "We hear you! And I hear you. And America hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear you very soon."

This is the man touted last week as the great leader America needs. What? Peewee Herman isn't available?

1. A lapdog could have yelled into that bullhorn that morning of 9/14
and America would have felt the same way. No one wanted Bush in office, he was forced on Americans just like he forces his policies on the world, and we're all tired of his bullying. Time to unite and stand up to the bullies of this administration and say we're not going to take it anymore! The lies, the cheating the war profits, Halliburton, it's time for Bush to GO!

2. 9/14
Remember the pressure he was under to go there after THREE days? he knew the air was bad, but the polls were worse.

Our fearless leader standing over someone else's work.

Probably was an oxygen inhaler hidden in the bullhorn.
