This is interesting! I never put the two together.

TO ALL MY FRIENDS....LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE...FYI only.  Share with

your family and friends.

       George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.  The first six

the economy was fine.

       A little over one year ago:

>                  1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

>                  2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

>                  3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

>                  4) The DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +

>                  5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises,

>vacations overseas, living large!

>        But American's wanted 'CHANGE'!  So, in 2006 they voted in a

Democratic Congress and yes -- we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:

>                   1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;

>                   2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;

>                   3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);

>                   4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12

TRILLION

>                        DOLLARS and prices still dropping;

>                    5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

>                    6) As I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~

>                       $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR

>STOCKS BONDS AND MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

>        YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT!  ....

>

       REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES,

ONLY CONGRESS.

>

       AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY

NOTHING!!

>

       NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO

REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!

>

       JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?
