If Bush left us with such a mess, why do these numbers not show it?

Because the mainstream liberal news have been trying to keep it a secret under our eyes and blame all economic woes onto Bush. I am sick of them blaming Bush for everything. Last I checked he isn't president no more. In fact if the man keeps putting us in this 65% increase of debt from all his reform bills, by 2012 the nation will be estimated to be under $27.5 trillion in debt. Obama's nose continues to grow longer on the course of presidency by claiming the unemployment rate had decreased when in fact its up by almost 10% in our nation. Wake up America, if we don't do so mething it'll be another great depression.
