White House Web Site on the economy, A.K.A. "Johnny Ringo, you look like
...someone just walked across your grave."

The final "don't change horses in mid-stream" volley reeks of fear and desperation.

Steady Job Growth Continues in States Across the Country
State Jobs Data Shows Steady Economic Growth

Now is Not the Time to Change Policies That are Strengthening Our Economy

President Bush has brought our economy back, and it is growing again and creating new jobs. Now is not the time to change the policies that are strengthening our economic recovery.

The President has acted decisively to bring us back from recession to recovery. He has:

* Enacted tax relief for families by lowering tax rates for all taxpayers, increasing the child credit, and reducing the marriage penalty.
* Phased out the death tax, helping to preserve family farms and businesses.
* Encouraged business growth by providing incentives for small businesses to invest.
* Made the stock market stronger by cutting taxes on dividends and capital gains.
* Passed the strongest corporate governance reforms since FDR was President.
* Proposed his Jobs for the 21st Century initiative to improve education for high school students and train workers for industries creating the most new jobs.

4. My favorite item is...
"Proposed his Jobs for the 21st Century initiative to improve education for high school students and train workers for industries creating the most new jobs."

A.K.A. "Go to Community College for two years for a job you probably don't even want."

I'm sure we've all helped a friend with their resume, and because of gaps or lack of significant accomplishments we've "fluffed up" the bullet points with great things that were "proposed" but never amounted to squat.

3. "Made the stock market stronger..."
Uh, stronger than when? Certainly not stronger than when he took office.
