Dubya is in a state of denial, again. I can't say I'm surprised though, as this is the first stage in coping with the death of his political career (though some would argue he's already postmortem). Maybe he should be moving on to the next stage- bargaining- to figure out what went wrong. While he's bargaining about the economy, he should probably get a jump start on figuring out what went wrong with his entire presidential career. Dubya, if you need assistance with this part, I'd be more than happy to help. FYI, history is still going to judge you as a dumbass.
While I haven't had the opportunity to listen to Dubya deny that the country is headed toward a recession, I'm imagining that it went something like that.
"Take a look around. See all the foreclosures? That's not because people are unable to afford their homes. No, it's because after they move into bigger house, they forget to sell their old house. It's not because, say, they're losing their jobs, they have bad credit, and/or they can't afford it. Silly Americans. "
On the weekends, I work in a mall for extra cash, and I see it all around me: Furniture stores closing/going out of business because people don't have enough money to buy/keep a home, let alone furnish it; luggage/travel stores going out of business because nobody can leave the country, let alone the state (as gas prices continue to climb). I only wonder if the Nine West shoe store is closing because people can't afford luxuries such as shoes anymore! (Heck, it seems like it's only a matter of time!) The sad part is that I work in a mall where the patrons live in affluent communities. If this is happening to them, what's happening to us average Joe's?
