Bush's Farewell (Good Riddance!)

George Bush has been busy trying to repair his image before he leaves office, giving interviews and speeches to try to change the bad taste Americans have in their mouths from the last 8 years of his failed presidency.

Tonight Bush gave his "farewell speech" to the nation. He takes credit for keeping us safe from terrorism (except for 9/11) and for spreading democracy (except in Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.) and for America's reputation as a defender of human rights (except for Guitmo and some waterboarding...)

Here are a few things he left out of his record:

The Bush Years Jan. 01 Jan. 09

Unemployment 4.2% 7.2%
U.S. Budget + $237B - $1.2 Trillion

Consumer Confidence 116 38
Uninsured Americans 40 M 46 M

Except for the illegal invasion of Iraq, the growing quagmire in Afghanistan, Katrina and New Orleans, and the Second Great Depression, things are just great...
