Here's my Hoover award for Kerry. He sucks.

Don't only does he suck, but he sucks up dirt.

This is what the lib socialist lawyer I trade barbs with has to say

You have your numbers wrong. Unemployment was 4.2% when Clinton left office. It was 7.3% when he took office in 1992. The 5.6% rate you ascribe to Clinton was the rate at the end of his first term.

Overall, unemployment went from 7.3% to 4.2% under Clinton. It has gone from 4.2% to 5.6% under Bush.

When it comes to jobs, Bush is far worse than was Hoover. Still, he is the only president since Hoover to go an entire term without an increase in jobs. His net loss is about 2million jobs, and that is not a good number any way you slice it.

If some one can put together a rebuttal I'd appreciate it. I'm in over my head on this one. I understand the bare basics, but not the nitty gritty.

Quote from George Clinton:

"My brother has a nose like a Hoover."

Gee, I think Bill and Monica were the first ones that got the "Hoover" award...

I thought the Hover Award went to Jenna Jameson :-)
