Yep, the President’s domestic/economic record is just abysmal . . . or may be not:
Here’s where things stood in 1980, Carter’s last year in office, and in subsequent periods:
• Carter: Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. The so-called “Misery Index,” which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election, 20.5%.
• Reagan’s last year: Interest rate, 9%. Inflation, 4.1%. Unemployment, 5.5%. Misery Index, 9.6%.
• Bush today: Interest rate, 8%. Inflation, 2.6%. Unemployment, 4.5%. Misery Index, 7.1%.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . ALL indexes better under Bush 43 than Reagan — how’d that happen?!
Come now....although I may be considered a Bushbot...I LOVE THE MAN...in all fairness, if Bush 43 followed Carter's dismal numbers, they probably wouldn't have matched Reagan's.
Different world economy...no Soviet Uniton...Islamist on 'simmer' instead of 'boil'...etc..
Thanks Dr Deb. Please keep it coming. ;o)
