Bush wins Hoover Award.

With today's job numbers, we can announce that Bush is the first President since Herbert Hoover to preside over net job loss in the non-farm private sector.

Congratulations Mr. Bush! You continue to exhibit the reverse Midas touch; everything you touch turns to %$#&^.

And the numbers ARE (Jan 2005 could still be revised, but the Hoover Award is not in jeopardy):

Non-Farm private Sector Jobs, Jan 2001: 111.622 Million

Non-Farm private sector Jobs, Jan 2005: 110.862 Million

A first term net loss of 760 thousand jobs.
