>>>Please explain in detail how those stats are Bush's fault.<<<
You can debate forever and a day over who's at fault for what but there's no debate over who's been at the desk. You know..the desk where the buck stops with real leaders. As you bend over backwards to defend this piece of shit he's racking up new records as a matter of routine.

Study: 935 False Statements Led To War
Mr. Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al Qaeda, the study found.
Under the Bush Administration, Real GDP has grown at an average annual rate of 2.5 percent,[56] considerably below the average for business cycles from 1949 to 2000.
The on-budget deficit for 2006 was US$434 billion, a change from an US$86 billion surplus in 2000.[61] Inflation-adjusted median household income has been flat while the nation's poverty rate has increased.[62] By August 23, 2007, the national debt had officially risen to US$8.98 trillion dollars; the national debt has increased US$3.25 trillion dollars since Bush took office.
The number of Americans living in poverty jumped to 35.9 million last year, up by 1.3 million, while the number of those without health care insurance rose to 45 million from 43.6 million in 2002, the U.S. government said in a report Thursday.
Sales of existing homes fell in December, closing out a horrible year for housing in which sales of single-family homes plunged by the largest amount in 25 years. The median home price dropped for the entire year, the first time that has occurred in four decades.
That was the first annual price decline on records going back to 1968. Lawrence Yun, the Realtors' chief economist, said it was likely that the country has not experienced a decline in housing prices for an entire year since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
