"Why don't we let stimulus package 1, which seemed like a good idea at the time, have a chance to kick in?"
~President George W. Bush

That, my friends, is what our *fine* American president said to the press in a recent speech in which he also denied that the country was sliding into an economic depression.

You can read the whole article here to see other stupid things he said in the same speech.

I just *love* how the man leading our country can so blatantly ignore the circumstances and continue blithely on his way, wearing rose-colored glasses. Brilliant. Fucking brilliant. The man is ignoring the sage observations of economists. He refuses to acknowledge what the rest of America plainly sees. And he's our president until Jan. 20, 2009. *sigh* Canada looks better and better every day.

I know it would have been better of me to not do so, I turned off the news conference the third time he went "um...the...um." Perhaps unreasonably so, I would think that someone would have coached him better. I do echo what a previous commenter said though, in part: I have yet to be 100% convinced of our potential options for this year. And I probably won't be until conventions are over.
