Bush did not leave office till Jan 20, 2009

This is the 3rd time I've caught you lying now. Tsk tsk tsk...

There is more than symbolism in the parallel to the post-Depression era. The December jobless figures reflect an accelerating contraction, with 75 percent of 2008's job losses—1.9 million—occurring in the final four months of the year and all signs pointing to a further hemorrhaging of jobs in the months ahead. This means that the current recession, which officially began in December of 2007, will become the longest and most severe since the 1930s.

The fact that Obama managed in such a short time to stop the huge bleeding that Bush left the country in, speaks volumes about how good and effective president he has been considering the implosion that Republican Bush left the country in.
