According to U.S. News and World Report, France has seen a 50 percent reduction in tourism.LOL!!! Serves them right! The only time I'll ever set foot in France in the future is to take a dump. I won't spend any money there while doing so either.
Does anyone have a link to data regarding the tourism reduction?

give Dem office seekers a chanceWe've already done that. They tend to spend too much time getting more than their egos stroked over the Oval Office sink.

...the lost 2.5 million (and counting) jobs during little Dumbya's watch Typical moronic liberal post. How convenient it is when we forget that the stock market crashed under Clinton/Gore, causing the recession, and subsequent job losses. People are so ignorant it's incredible.

I agree with you there. Every time a Dem is in office taxes increase, and Paychecks are smaller. I am happy that republicans control both the houses. Hope they can turn this country around. I have watched it slowly go from bad to worse in twelve years.

One test is how much the dems hate him.
If that is the criteria, 43 is doing great!

What I would like to know and understand is this: If the labor has been going down for the past twenty years, if read you correctly. Then why is president Bush getting all the blame for something that has been happening through out the years. I look at stuff like this, is does not matter what your status(meaning, republic, or democratic): The president will always get backlashed, and criticized. I feel sorry for him. He is doing his best and all anyone can do is criticize him. It sickens me.

Bush said on Tuesday night that he intends for a budget projection which will allow the deficit to be cut in half within five years.The first President George Bush made a campaign promise, too. Did this one say what programs he was going to cut?

So many Frepers are out to elect liberal democrats by voting for the politician who gets 0.00001% of the voteThe only ones who elect liberals are the ones who vote for them.
To: Phntmplays
That's the unemployment rate that is going down over the last 20 years. In the early 90s, (under Clinton) they did change the way they calculated the rate which cause about two-tenths of a point downward bias to the published figures. The BLS said, and I do believe them, that there were good technical reasons for adjusting their calculation methods and politics was not a factor. But the fact remains none-the-less, that even at the bottom of this last recession, unemployment rates have remained below the average rate over the last 20 years.
I also understand that all of this is way to complex for Murry Mom to try to comprehend. I can see her head exploding looking at this tables. Like Barbie said, "Oh my God, math is sooooooooo hard."
And they call Bush dumb.

I believe you are not showing what you think you are showing. The "Civilian Labor Force Level comprises all civilians 16 years of age and over classified as employed or unemployed."
So that chart doesn't show hom many jobs there are but how may people are available for jobs.

Why has President Bush "earned" FOUR more years as President? Let's as some 'real' people (NOT policy wonks/ideological demagogues):
"President Bush enjoyed a friendly crowd at Roswells Convention and Civic Center (NM) on Thursday as he hammered home points from this weeks State of the Union address.
Curry County Sheriff Roger Hatcher was among the supporters.
Im glad we have a president with backbone, whos not afraid to make difficult decisions, regardless of how it affects his chances for re-election,
The people of the world trust the word of America, he said to whoops and hollers from the crowd.
Sheriff Hatcher summarized Bushs speech as excellent, and Undersheriff Doug Bowman agreed with him.
Im grateful for his respect for law enforcement and the military. Weve got a president who stands behind us 110 percent, Bowman said.
Jordan Strebeck, a Clovis High School senior and student body president, also made the trip to Roswell. He said for someone who is interested in politics, Bushs speech was one of the coolest things Ive ever seen.
I think he really cares about America and the people of America, he added.
Strebecks friend Jason Seefeld, also a CHS senior, said Bushs stands on the war on terror and home-front security impressed him.
It was a once-in-a lifetime experience for us to come here and hear what he had to say, Seefeld said.
Roswell resident Dottie Edwards said this was only the second time a sitting president has visited Roswell. Ronald Reagan visited the city in 1984. She said what she liked best about Bushs speech was his honesty about the issues."

To: Your Nightmare
You are correct. My bad. But work the numbers and it still shows a net gain in jobs of about 900,000 since Jan. 2001, not a 2.5 million loss of jobs.

So, you identify with the anti-American, anti-military, anti-police, pro-Marxist, pro-death (i.e., abortion), pro-terrorist, anti-semitic 'rent-a-crowd' that always shows-up to protest our President?! 'Nuf said!

Do you identify with the people who came to protest Clinton? I believe there were treated the same way.
Besides, I was just kidding.
To: Ditto
I think what people are saying is that there are 2.5 million more unemployed people that when Bush took office.
3,091,000 more workers - 689,000 more jobs = 2,402,000 more unemployed.
An expanding labor force is something every president has to deal with.
