Bush. But that razzle-dazzle has failed...

For example, despite repeated public concerns about unemployment, joblessness has actually decreased each month for the past four years - including another drop in October. Similarly, official statistics show purchasing power in France has grown annually since 2000 - including a modest 2% increase this year - despite public perception to the contrary.
