The Census Bureau released a report last week which revealed that 'The number of Americans living in poverty increased by 1.3 million last year, while the ranks of the uninsured swelled by 1.4 million,' according to the Associated Press. They continued, 'It was the third straight annual increase for both categories.' Third straight increase huh? I guess we're still waiting for Our Great Leader's Great Tax Cut Plan to kick in. Should be any day now. Meanwhile, the AP also noted that, 'The rise was more dramatic for children. There were 12.9 million living in poverty last year, or 17.6 percent of the under-18 population. That was an increase of about 800,000 from 2002, when 16.7 percent of all children were in poverty.' Leave no child behind my ass. George left 800,000 more children behind last year than he did the year before. Great work. Do the math: since George W. Bush became president, 5.2 million people have lost their health insurance and 4.3 million have fallen into poverty. Meanwhile corrupt CEOs make more money than they ever have before. And that's supposed to be leadership?

I hear George W. Bush is the Pro-Life candidate for President. Who's life?
