Without checking sources, from what I know most of them seem about right. Of course a lot of it is play on words, for example:

"I set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market."

Although I don't know the numbers, I imagine the big stock market crash in the 1900's was by far more severe percentage wise. Although due to inflation, he may have lead the biggest recession in the stock market, but only due to inflation adjusting the dollar amounts.

And is that his fault even? I don't know.
A lot of others are left so much up to judgement, its really not fair to put them up there... like that "garnered so much sympathy, but not america is hated a lot." Too wordy to be worth much.

From what information I know, and I follow the politics quite a bit. I have no reason to doubt the truth to the arguments. All in all, I think Bush is quite unfit to be President.

Some interesting tidbits to add:
-Scored just under 1000 on the SATs (when the base was 1600, and 1000 was average.)
-His brother is the governor of Florida. Although there are no hard facts, there is considerable evidence that a lot of african american voters had their vote "discredited" and he ended up winning the state, and the election by only 537 votes. (Thus he is a good thief!)

Kerry doesn't impress me personally, I find it very saddening that our two party political system more or less encourages you pick who is the "least worst." Rather then the "best."

(Edit

I might as add I got that number 537 from this website:
http://democrats.com/display.cfm?id=181
Which sites a study that recounted 175,010 ballots, and counting the numbers, Gore should have won by: 712 votes.

At the time, the supreme court ruled 5 to 4 that no matter what the recounts show, Bush should win. This is widely speculated that they only did this because Fox the TV station broadcasted that Bush won way before it was really counted. It was far too close to declare it.

I can only imagine how things would have been different... I mean, would Gore have gone into Iraq. I would say with little doubt, no he would not. (Saddam vowed to kill W. Bushs father by the way.) I am very worried that Bush might win again because he smears the lies into truth, and people end up believing him. Theres a quote somewhere that goes something like "Tell people one big lie, and they will believe you, tell someone a small lie, and they will question you."

Enough politics though, right? Only makes me depressed.
