Who will Bush blame it on now? Poland?

1. The unemployment rate in November of 2000 was %4.0. The rate for September of 2004 was %5.4.
2. The National Debt in December of 2000 was $5.62 trillion, still a hefty number. But, its now almost hitting $7.4 trillion?!
3. The National Deficit at the end of 2000 was... nonexistant. We had a surplus of $236 billion. Now its around $415 billion in the hole, which is supposed to be a record.

Its been Bush's watch for the last four years and it is his job to ensure the safety, well being, and success of this country, and as a part of this job it makes him responsible for what happens under his leadership. Saddam didnt have ties to Al-Qaeda. Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. Rights are being overwritten. How much more obvious does it need to be that he cannot handle this job? What do you still cling to that makes you think that by some miracle things will get better under a man that has made things steadily worse?
