Bush has done a lot for our country. He gave us the Western White House. He gave the press nicknames ("Stretch" for David Gregory from NBC, "Panchito" for Frank Bruni from the New York Times, and "Dulce" for Candy Crowly from CNN, among others). He even gave world leaders nicknames (sadly, I'm not kidding that Russian President Vladimir Putin earned "Pootie Poot", the BBC reported). And he ruined the country's budget surplus, getting the National Debt Clock turned back on again. The National Debt Clock, put up in Midtown Manhattan as a political message in the 80's was turned off in 2000 as the government ran a surplus. But thanks to President Bush the Debt Clock is up and running again.

As of 11:48 am today the national debt was $7,018,440,785,677.81

Dubya, keep up the good work!
