Numbers don't lie: Devastator-in-Chief Bush 2008

By GottaLaff

Cold statistics make it a little tougher for BushCo to squirm their way out of the devastation they've inflicted on this country:

To mark the passing of Bush’s last full year in office, ThinkProgress rounded up statistics on some of the most significant effects of Bush rule in 2008:

– Number Of U.S. Troops Killed in Iraq: 322.
– Number Of U.S. Troops Killed in Afghanistan: 151.
– Number Of Jobs Lost: 1.9 million.
– Number Of Banks Federal Government Now Owns Stock In: 206.
– Number Of Uninsured Americans: 47.5 million.

– Change In Housing Prices: declined 18 percent.
– Change In Health Insurance Premiums: increased 5 percent.
– Change In Number Of Delinquent Mortgages: increased 75 percent.
– Change In Use Of Food Stamps: increased 17 percent.
– Change In Dow Jones Industrial Average: declined 35 percent.
– Change In Bush Approval Rating: declined 9 percent to 29 percent.

Of course, this is all Bill Clinton's fault. And in about 3 weeks, it will become all Barack Obama's fault. Bush had nothing to do with it. It was out of his control. All he could do was stand by and watch it unfold.

Poor guy. I hope it doesn't affect his twinkly, unblemished legacy.
