Real State of the Union

Shrubya will give his version tonight.  Here’s a sampling of numbers he won’t be talking about:

$113 million: Total sum raised by the Bush-Cheney 2000 campaign, setting a record in American electoral history

$130 million: Amount raised for Bush’s re-election campaign so far

130: Number of countries (out of total of 191 recognized by the United Nations) with an American military presence

58 million: Number of acres of public lands Bush has opened to road building, logging and drilling

And the last disturbing one is
53%: Percentage of American citizens who approved of the way Bush was handling his job as president when asked on 16 January, 2004
