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?
