And Now, the Economy: What's Left for Bush to Ruin?Posted November 10, 2007 | 04:46 PM (EST)
In the disastrous seven years of the worst President ever, his defenders had said that the economy is going well, and this shows that the President is doing a fine job.
Who are these defenders? The 33% who approve of the job this President is doing. Yes, there are 33% of the people who approve of George W.'s job performance. Don't you wish you worked for these people? "Tommy, you forgot to fill your orders this month, all of the clients hate you, and our profits are shrinking. I'm giving you a 20% raise!"

But the tanking economy means that the President's constituency, the very wealthy, is in for a world of hurt. The terrible housing market does not spare anyone, no matter how many houses you have, and the situation is not going to get better for many years. The President can no longer count on the rich to defend him; they've abandoned the sinking yacht.
The economy is on a straight line toward recession. And you know how this President reacts when he sees trouble looming. He heads right for it.
With the economy in a heap of trouble, it now appears as if Hurricane Bush will finish his term having absolutely decimated everything in his path.
Let's take a look at the record:
Budget Deficit We're almost $9 trillion in debt. We went from budget surplus under President Clinton to deficits as far as the eye can see under President Bush.
Health Care - More than 40 million Americans are without health care. Bush vetoes bill that would give more children health insurance.
