Man, sometimes I wonder if he's even capable of rational thought.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Thursday the country is not recession-bound and, despite expressing concern about slowing economic growth, rejected for now any additional stimulus efforts. "We acted robustly," he said.

"We'll see the effects of this pro-growth package," Bush told reporters at a White House news conference, acknowledging that some lawmakers already are talking about a second stimulus package. "Why don't we let stimulus package 1, which seemed like a good idea at the time, have a chance to kick in?"

Bush's view of the economy was decidedly rosier than that of many economists, who say the country is nearing recession territory or may already be there. "I'm concerned about the economy," he said. "I don't think we're headed to recession. But no question, we're in a slowdown."

1. I couldn't agree more

How can you "head into" something you're already in the middle of?

2. Yeah, and we will have a "humble" foreign policy and the war wasn't based on lies, and up is down..

SHEESH!

We are headed for a depression not a recession.

9. Because we are THERE--the trick is heading OUT of it, asshole.

I never even called Reagan or Nixon assholes, but all bets are off with this asshole...

10. It's Iraq all over

6 years of war is too early to judge how the war is going. 7+ years of Bush economics is too early to tell if it's working...
