mcjoan at DailyKos:

From his catastrophic war of choice to fiddling while New Orleans drowned, from installing partisan and unqualified lackeys in every possible government position to allowing the poisoning of our food, the Bush administration has failed. Top to bottom.

The Democratic Policy Committee has released a new fact sheet on the Bush administration and the economy for middle class Americans. One of the findings? He's worse than Herbert Hoover

The Democratic Caucus's Senate Journal has come up with the hard numbers:

The Democratic Policy Committee (DPC) has released an updated fact sheet: Middle-Class Life Under Bush: Less Affordable and Less Secure. The fact sheet includes information on how America's middle-class families are being squeezed by declining income and fewer job opportunities:

While families work harder, their wages continue to decline. Middle-class families are working harder and earning less today than they were at the start of the Bush Administration. [..]

Earnings for workers with college degrees declining. [..]

Worst job creation record since Hoover Administration.[..]

Unemployment has increased 7.1 percent and long-term joblessness has nearly doubled. [..]

Bush's deficit-financed tax cuts have widened the income gap between millionaires and middle-class workers.[..]
More American families and children face severe financial problems.
