No, not at all. Some of us saw this coming over a year ago.

Sure, it's safe and sound, the economy in terms of employment and wall st. facts and figures are fine and actually pretty close to what they were during the sunshine days of the Clinton administration.
However, what he doesn't get is that middle class buying power is significantly reduced. We're heading toward $100 fill ups at the pump and we pay $5.00 for a gallon of milk (that's an hour of work on min. wage standards). The middle class can't buy things and that's the problem. Sure we can buy coffee at Starbucks or a new ipod, but there is less spending on larger appliances and cars, two other economic indicators. The middle class is losing ground rapidly.

If all the other countries in the world taking a beating means our economy is 'safe and sound', then sure. How would Bush know whether or not the economy is 'safe and sound' anyways? Did one of his advisors tell him that?

No. You have to realize that Bush lives in another world and another reality which only effects extremely wealthy people. They have no real concept or grasp on what is taking place in the real world. They spend their time counting their wealth and looking for the next corrupt deal to make.

uh...no, when we have people fearing a recession, we're obviously not "safe and sound." also, i don't think anyone believes what President Bush says anymore, and honestly, why should we. He's selfish, and does not care about what the people of this country think. That's been made very obvious by his term as Pres.

I would not agree with Bush if he said the sky was blue!
As for the economy being safe and sound.. I guess if you are in the top financial group,. which he is.. yeah.. it's safe and sound.

Tell that to my husband and 8 of his colleagues who just got laid off right before Xmas! Bush is either a big liar (surprise!) or he has his head stuck in the sand!

just as safe and sound as the "unsinkable" Titanic.
The economy only looks good because the unemployment rates only reflect those collecting unemployment, not those that no longer qualify but still have no job. Figures lie and liars figure.

President Bush is the best, most honest and most liberal president since Clinton. He is almost as honest as Clinton.
President Bush is the smartest MAN in the Republican party.

As safe as not locking my door at night. As soon as he made the announcement, the stock market headed towards the basement.
