Pathetic.

Bush likes to go around visiting factories, (mostly those run by his supporters) and making a big point about just how successful and helpful his tax cuts, etc. are for manufacturers. This is an especially important point in battleground rust belt states like Ohio and Michigan. A visit to Counterspin Central will reveal that a factory in Canton, OH, which Bush visited in 2003, and where he gave a self-congratulatory speech in front of a "Jobs and Growth" banner similar to the now-infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner. Well, that plant's been shut down.
