I know that picture is taken from above, but wasn’t Laura and George W.’s house a RANCH house? Unless it has undergone EXTENSIVE renovations, including a hugh second story addition, the house in that picture doesn’t look anything like the house we’d seen pictures of last December.

SORRY BARACK: YOU CAN’T BLAME THE BOGEYMAN FOR YOUR RECORD BUDGET DEFICITS, TOO
By: Jim Hoft

On July 11, 2006, the Bush Administration announced they were revising midyear budget estimates. They changed their projections after they discovered that greater than expected tax revenues would drop the deficit below 300 billion dollars. Budget Director Rob Portman drove home the message later that day telling reporters that this latest revision was proof that the administration’s tax cuts were working.

This wasn’t a one time event. During the Bush years, despite the 2000 Recession, the attacks on Sept. 11, the stock market scandals, Hurricane Katrina and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush Administration was able to reduce the budget deficit from 412 billion dollars in 2004 to 162 billion dollars in 2007, a sixty percent drop. In 2004, the federal budget deficit was 412 billion dollars. In 2005, it dropped to 318 billion dollars. In 2006, the deficit dipped to 248 billion dollars. And, in 2007, it fell below 200 billion to 162 billion dollars. During the Bush years, the average unemployment rate was 5.2 percent, the economy saw the strongest productivity growth in four decades and there was robust GDP growth. These were amazing accomplishments considering the unexpected challenges. You certainly didn’t read much about this in the press.

Stock Market Analysis: Bush vs. Obama Stimulus Plans

Now that 6 months have passed since Obama’s “stimulus plan” has passed, I thought it useful to examine the stock market reaction to Obama’s plan and compare it to the reaction of President Bush’s 2003 stimulus plan.

Bush’s plan passed in April 2003 while Obama’s passed in February 2009. I chose the S&P 500 Index starting point one month prior to passage because the market typically discounts the information beforehand as the bills work their way through Congress. I chose 6 months-post passage as the ending point because that’s all the data we have for Obama’s plan so far.

Bush: From March 2003 to October 2003, the S&P 500 went from 835 to 1034 or 23.8%.

Obama: From January 2009 through July 2009, the S&P went from 932 to 879 or -5.2%.

That's definitely not the same house, SuziQ

Here's a previous aerial view....

That fits more with the front view from the street....

Wonder whose house that other one is? I don't think Bush41 and Barbara live in a house that big, but I may be wrong.
