Bush may not rank high as a President, but he has got to be one of the funniest ever.  Hot Air has the vids here.

I tey to stay away from Politics on this blog (except for humour), but this post by dee here at Conservatism With Heart really got me thinking.

A little over one year ago: (16 months)

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;

2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate
(stock and mutual fund losses);

5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

“Some dude from Denmark named Lars gave me his perspective on our upcoming Presidential Election:

“We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even
bothering to hold an election.

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer . . . and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a war hero married to a good looking woman with big tits who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there a contest here?”
