Here’s the kind of litany Bush should be repeating everywhere he goes (except for the Maryland reference). From his nuke speech today:

Over the past two years, America has added more than 3.5 million new jobs. The unemployment rate is down to 5.1 percent. That’s lower than the average rate in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s.
In Maryland, the unemployment is 4.2 percent. People are working. I’m proud to report that more Americans are working today than ever before in our nation’s history. Our economy is sustaining low inflation rates, low interest rates, and low mortgage rates. Small businesses are flourishing. Families are taking home more of what they earn. Your after-tax income — incomes are up. More Americans are going to college than at any other time in our nation’s history. More Americans own their own businesses than ever before. And home ownership in America is at an all-time high.
