Bush's Autobiography
My friend Sonya sent me an email filled with stats about this President's accomplishments while in office, written in first person as an "autobiography." Can't verify the info, but much of it I've seen before. Sometimes, though, it's useful to whip a few of these out when trying to make an argument, and put the other team on the defensive for a change. This was such a long email that I'm going to put a few in this post and will add more daily. Enjoy!
- I attacked and took over 2 countries.
- I spent the US. surplus and bankrupted the US Treasury.
- I shattered the record for the biggest annual deficit in history (not easy!).
- I set an economic record for the most personal bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period.
- I set all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the stock market.
- I set the record for most campaign fund raising trips by any president in US history.
- In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their jobs.
- I cut unemployment benefits for more out-of-work Americans than any other president in US history.
- I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner.
