Republicans warn that Democrats will cause a difference

I'm looking for a bumper stickers that says,
Bin Laden still has his job, do you?

But seriously, when Bush took office in January 2001:

The unemployment rate was 4.2%, now it is 5.5%.

The inflation rate was 3.7%, now it is 4.1%.

Gasoline was around $1.45, now it is over $4.00.

The S&P 500 was 1,342 and now it is 1,261.

The trade weighted dollar was 122.7, now it is 96.0.

The Republicans keep warning us that if we elect a Democratic president things will go in the
opposite direction.
