"The economy is turning around. Job creation is strong."
Bush is not taking credit for a significant increase in jobs! Jobs have increased at least twice as much as stated but most are in China and India. Car sales in China have advanced significantly and caused the USA to compete for oil with a strong and growing China! Oil prices are a function of the demand created by the substantial increase in jobs (in the past would have gone to USA workers) in China and the Chinese demand for cars and oil to run them! The press has totally missed the point on jobs. Jobs are being created but they are not in the USA for the most part. While the USA increased jobs by about 200,000 the total is more like 3 million. Where are the other 2.8 million? The Bush administration is sending USA jobs overseas at the highest rate ever and is doing nothing to stem the flow. Get this guy out of office before it is too late for Americans! Bush is more interested in the world than in the USA. We need a President that puts the USA first and does not fiddle while the country burns. He would love to divert your attention to same sex marriages but that is a state issue and not a federal issue. The feds do not issue marriage licenses!

You should not discuss the increase in jobs without also adding whether the new jobs are equivalent to those that were lost. A bump in part-time, temporary, low-wage jobs is not an improvement in the economies of families that have lost full-time, good-wage jobs with benefits. The state of the national economy involves what is felt by the largest number of people, not what goes into the pockets of the few at the top.
