why can't we recall Bush for his $500 billion deficit?

Because it isn't illegal
Find a high crime or misdemeanor then knock yourself out impeaching Bush.

1. Because there is no legal mechanism for recalling the President.
Impeachment is the only way to remove a president from office before his term expires.

2. Wouldn't that be nice!
Unfortunately we have a balanced budget requirement, the federal government does not.

Plus I don't think there's a recall provision for federal offices, but I could be wrong.

No no, the only solution to the Bush problem is impeachment, or, more likely, a popular revolution in 2004.

4. Excellent question
But runs counter to GD temporary guidelines. It might be interesting to do some research on this and submit a new post that meets the guidelines. It might also generate more than the broad "rah rah" responses.
