Isn't it ... The Economy ... Stupid?

For years while der Schlickmeister was running the show (more like running it into the ground, but I digress) ... we were told over and over again that the success of the presidency is more-or-less exclusively defined by the success of the economy.

Now, to be fair, everybody knew this was because Clinton was a despicable pig (having sex with somebody the age of his daughter), a repulsive commander-in-chief (morale in the military at an alltime low), and a laughable world leader (the butt of "ugly American" jokes). But "Hey ... the economy is doing great!" ... so we had to ignore everything else.

Well, as hard as it is to believe, Bush took the disaster that Clinton handed him ... an economy in full collapse ... weathered incredible storms (9-11 and the hurricanes of 2005), and has built an economy that is even stronger than anything Clinton ever could. Note: this author doesn't give a damn about the "growth" of stock prices ... since we see from the 90's that a good portion of that growth is due to hype and B.S. Unemployment is a 50 year lows by some measures, and housing ownership at an alltime high. The wealth being created is *real* ... not paper profits but real, hard assets.

So according to the media that hyped "Its the economy, stupid" ... Bush should be the greatest president of all time, right?

Yeah ... uh huh ... and yet you will still see some morons arguing that the media is not biased.
