I'm trying not to laugh, Jerry.  You are telling me that my numbers were 
bad, and you are showing me more numbers, but they agree with mine, and 
you are concluding that all of the numbers are bad.  You have no 
explanation.

It's pretty simple:  People who like Bush are mostly morons, and when gas 
prices went through the roof, they blamed Bush.

Katrina hurt Bush, the continuing war in Iraq has hurt, the corruption and 
scandals are hurting, but the biggest thing, I think, is the price of 
gasoline.  Ironic because Bush really might not be to blame for that!
