"Because we acted, Iowa's unemployment rate is now 4.3 percent."(up 1.3%)
OH MY GOODNESS, BUSH SAID THIS!!!!

Upon further reading of the article I found this piece of info out:

State unemployment stood at 3 percent when Bush took office in January 2001. It reached a high of 4.7 percent in July 2003

So because Bush acted, unemployment overall increased by 1.3% What idiot decided to use this for a campaign tactic

2. three magic words
"since last August."

For whatever reason, Bush doesn't hold himself accountable for the first 2 1/2 years of his term.
