Recession is measured as a decrease in GDP output for two consecutive quarters. Our output has been increasing every year. It's simple economic 101. However, we are VERY close to a recession. http://www.bea.gov/national/index.htm#gdp We aren’t technically in a recession.

Bush is not the President he's a figure head as Dick Cheney is the President and Vice President. Bush is sent out to speak as he's told after he has had his alcohol and weed. That's why most people think something is wrong with him as the Media spins and covers up. Remember the brain gets fried when you use drugs, Americans are watching an example of that results are when you have used drugs most of your life. Now what comes to mine is the accident Bush had when watching the football game. Most were told it was a pretzel but it was cocaine with the power around the nose. Like Presidents of the past Americans are told everything is find but it really isn't. Ronald Regan had Alzheimer's while in office but it was hidden from the public.
