Nonsense....that's not how a recession is determined. The economy is still growing, albeit more slowly than we would like.

That's another thing that has sucked under Bush: job growth. Jobs were created 5x faster during the Clinton years than during the Bush years... Have i mentioned that the S&P is flat for Bush's 7 years, economic growth is weak, and that the federal government is losing money hand over fist? This is what we get from a CEO MBA President? Can we maybe get back to lawyers and actors in the Whitehouse? Here's data from 2006 so Bush's numbers won't be quite accurate: Average Annual Jobs Created 1. Clinton 2.9 M 2. Carter 2.8 M 3. Reagan 1.9 M 4. Ford 1.4 M 5. Bush Sr. 0.8 M 6. GW Bush 0.8M SD
