George Bush has beenin office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little overone year ago:
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%.
4) the DOWJONES hit a record high-14,000
5) American’s were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...
But American’s wanted ‘CHANGE’!
So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes—we got ‘CHANGE’ allright.
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $3 a gallon
3)Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% ofAmerican homes are in foreclosure.
6) THE DOW is probing another low~~ $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM STOCKS,BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.
AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. (actually, they did something...none of it good)
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE ‘CHANGE’ DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?
“Just how much more change do you think people can stand?”
You ain’t see nothin’ yet.
Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis
People will get change alright-that’s ALL they’ll be left with; the kind that jingles in your pocket.
“American’s wanted ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes—we got ‘CHANGE’ allright.”
An excellent point. Too bad the Republicans are too stupid to even TRY and make that argument.
Their campaign really needs a full-time staffer to lurk on FR. There are great ad ideas and talking points all over the place here.

Good rant!!!

Tweak this a little and it would make an absolutely amazing and devastating ad played in battlegrounds for a week or 2. Why is the McCain campaign shying away from the economic battles...don’t quite understand it
Nice summary, Raster.
Great post
