You can pull all the numbers you want out of your ass. The fact is that Bush had 6 years of everything he wanted. Plus another 2 years that he got everything he wanted. I think he had 2 vetos in 8 years. And if you open your crooked insurance man eyes you will see that things are not going so good. Remember although figures don't lie liars figure.
Weasel, Six years of complete Republican control caused this. Of course the Dems have to share the blame for not stopping the travisty that is Iraq as they said they would.

Painkillers May Have Caused Limbaugh's Deafness
THURSDAY, Oct. 16 (HealthDayNews) -- Could a common painkiller have contributed to Rush Limbaugh's well-known hearing loss?
Research findings suggest the radio talk-show host's apparent addiction to Vicodin could be the culprit behind his mysterious attack of deafness two years ago.
Doctors over the past several years have reported dozens of cases of Vicodin addicts who became deaf and, in some cases, only regained their hearing with the help of cochlear implants such as the ones received by Limbaugh.
"It's pretty clear that there is this association," says Dr. Jeffrey Harris, an ear specialist at the University of California, San Diego Medical School. "The ear is sensitive to drugs, and this particular association with Vicodin has become more relevant as people are getting their hands on it as a recreational drug."
However, the full extent of the problem isn't known, and researchers aren't sure how painkillers may harm the ear in the first place.
The possible connection between drug abuse and Limbaugh's hearing loss in 2001 surfaced after news reports this month revealed that the talk-show host was under investigation in Florida for illegal drug purchases.
When he initially lost his hearing, experts suspected Limbaugh suffered from autoimmune disorder, a disease in which the immune system mistakes cells of the inner ear for invaders and attacks them.
But last week, another potential cause revealed itself when Limbaugh announced he was addicted to painkillers -- reportedly including Vicodin (also known as hydrocodone), a sister drug known as Lorcet and OxyContin -- and would leave his show to spend a month in rehab. Limbaugh told his estimated 20 million listeners that he began taking the pills while recovering from back surgery.
In 1999, doctors at the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles reported 12 cases -- nine women and three men -- of patients who developed hearing loss after Vicodin addiction. Two years later, doctors at the institute and elsewhere reported they had linked Vicodin abuse to hearing loss in at least 48 patients, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In 2001, the institute successfully treated Limbaugh's hearing loss with cochlear implants after blaming his deafness on autoimmune disorder.
The institute did not respond to a request for comment.
Harris, the San Diego doctor, says he has treated two patients whose hearing loss seems to be connected to Vicodin addiction.
There's good news for patients who use the drug as prescribed, however. "I've only seen it in people who are really addicted and abusing Vicodin, taking way too many doses per day," Harris says.
Another ear specialist notes that no studies on Vicodin and hearing loss have appeared in several years.
"I don't have 100 people in my office who are all on Vicodin. For one doctor or a group of doctors to spot a pattern can be tricky," says Dr. Steven D. Rauch, associate professor of otology and laryngology at Harvard Medical School.
It's clear, though, that the workings of the inner ear are vulnerable to disruption, perhaps no surprise giving their remarkable complexity. Numerous systems "regulate the inner-ear milieu," Rauch says. "They regulate the production of two different flavors of inner ear fluid, the constitution of fluids and [their] recycling, the nerves, and the circulation of oxygen that enters and leaves the ear."
In essence, "everything has got to be dialed in perfectly for the ear to work," Rauch says. "If a drug gets in there and it blocks or messes up any of these regulatory systems, the ear can fail. That can affect hearing or balance or both."

Is this one of the videos you are talking about Weasel. Open your eyes.
You neocon's can try to rewite history any way you want but thank God most of us have memories and do not rely on Right Wing radio.
In the address, the President says the following?
?Members, you and I will work together in the months ahead on other issues: [...] broader home ownership, especially among minorities ? (applause)[...]?
And then later that same year, he gave the following speech in front of a back-drop that says ?A Home of Your Own? in which he promoted federal subsidies for low-income families trying to make a down-payment on a new home - the ?American Dream Initiative? - tax credits to encourage more low-income housing and an effort to encourage mortgage companies to dramatically ?reduce the barriers to home ownership,? known as ?America?s Home Ownership Challenge??
Watch the video, which is nothing more than Bush talking in 2002 or keep your head in the sand.
Commentary: A history lesson for Rush LimbaughStory Highlights
James Carville: Rush Limbaugh is now an advocate of bipartisan government
Limbaugh proposes splitting stimulus plan between Obama and GOP, Carville says
Carville: If that plan had been in effect in 2000, Iraq war might have been avoided
Editor's Note: James Carville, a Democratic strategist who serves as a political contributor for CNN, was the Clinton-Gore campaign manager in 1992 and political adviser to President Clinton. He is active in Democratic politics and a party fundraiser.
James Carville says Rush Limbaugh's new bipartisan strategy could have served the country well in 2000.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On Thursday, Rush Limbaugh, the moral and intellectual leader and most influential person in the Republican Party in the United States, wrote in the august op-ed pages of The Wall Street Journal, the acknowledged epicenter of right-wing thought, that President Obama should adopt a bipartisan solution to address the president's economic stimulus plan -- or as Limbaugh refers to it, "porkulus."
Limbaugh proposes that because the Democrats got roughly 54 percent of the votes to the Republicans' 46 percent, the stimulus package should be allocated along his definition of ideological lines, i.e. 54 percent towards infrastructure improvement and 46 percent toward tax breaks for Limbaugh and his friends.
He writes, "Fifty-three percent of American voters voted for Barack Obama; 46% voted for John McCain, and 1% voted for wackos. Give that 1% to President Obama. Let's say the vote was 54% to 46%.
"As a way to bring the country together and at the same time determine the most effective way to deal with recessions, under the Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009: 54% of the $900 billion -- $486 billion -- will be spent on infrastructure and pork as defined by Mr. Obama and the Democrats; 46% -- $414 billion -- will be directed toward tax cuts, as determined by me."

Senate braces for "hard slog" on stimulus bill
In Depth: Commentary
And he is serious. However much one may disagree with the current "daddy" of all Republicans (Beg to differ? See Rep. Phil Gingrey, who apologized last week for doubting Rush), you have to admire El Rushbo's principled stance and his well-known consistent ideology.
Why surely it seems like just yesterday that Al Gore won the national popular vote in 2000 (and arguably won the popular vote in Florida too).
Limbaugh must have called for the incoming Bush administration to allocate ideas based on the proportion of election returns. I'm sure President Bush and the Republicans in Congress graciously accepted their 49.5 percent share of everything. (Note: We would be much better off right now had this actually happened.)
With 50 percent of the federal government during President Bush's term, Democrats might have reduced the deficit (a truly Clintonista idea). Wall Street might have been more heavily regulated and K Street's lobbyists might not have been running the Capitol. Democrats might have invested money into infrastructure improvements so that bridges didn't collapse or entire cities flood.
We wouldn't have spent $350 million per day in Iraq. Heck, had Democrats been able to control 50 percent of the government from 2000 to 2004, we wouldn't have even gone into Iraq in the first place. There might have been more spending on education and a fully funded No Child Left Behind Act.
It is a remarkable time in American politics when a respected ideologue like Limbaugh can take to a hyperpartisan place like the pages of The Wall Street Journal, and deliver such a consistent message. We Democrats should congratulate Rush on the purity, intellectual integrity, and consistency of his positions
