I don't like this administration and I disagree with almost all of it's policies, and I'm voting for Obama.
That being said, facts are facts and just because you hate Bush and his policies doesn't mean there's something wrong with the U.S. economy. The data does not support that conclusion.

heh, unemployment statistics. Do you even know how that number is calculated? If you did, you would not rely on it. The unemployment rate in the US is probably more like 30% right now, not the 5-7% or whatever they claim it is at. Yes, the data does support that conclusion. The statistics do not support the conclusion, and the statistics, you remember, are arrived at by playing with and manipulating the data to make it say what those in power want it to say.
