Bush says economy's strong

Bush has got his head in the sand more than ever these days. First, that farce in the Middle East, now this priceless quote from him last week:

"...so that an economy that's inherently strong gets a boost..."

Is he talking about the US?? All I've been hearing about is how hard it is to get a job, debates about are we on the brink of a recession or already in one, reports on the credit crisis, housing and lending disasters, etc.

I mean, really, does he write his own material or what?
