"President Bush, who marked his 18th month in office this weekend, is off to the worst start of any president in the last 75 years . . . With the plunge in stock prices over the last nine weeks, the [Standard & Poor's] 500 has now fallen 36.9 percent since Mr. Bush was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2001. That is the worst record for any president, as measured by the S.& P., which dates back to 1927, and is nearly twice as bad as the record compiled over the first 18 months of Herbert Hoover's administration."

I attribute this largely to a critical mass of us citizenry recognizing incompetence (consciously or unconsciously) when we see it.
