Best George W. Bush Small Business Quotes

We haven't seen any figures yet on how well comedy clubs are doing this recession.  As the economy rumbles, more people may want to take refuge in a house of laughter.  One thing is clear, though.  Comedians are losing a vital source of material this month.

Here is a recap of George W. Bush's best small business quotes, courtesy of the Associated Press:

• "I want to thank the dozens of welfare-to-work stories, the actual examples of people who made the firm and solemn commitment to work hard to embetter themselves." — April 18, 2002, at the White House.

• "Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." — Sept. 6, 2004, at a rally in Poplar Bluff, Mo.

• "I can't wait to join you in the joy of welcoming neighbors back into neighborhoods, and small businesses up and running, and cutting those ribbons that somebody is creating new jobs." — Sept. 5, 2005, when Bush met with residents of Poplarville, Miss., in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

• "The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there's jobs at the machine-making place." — May 27, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz.

America's first MBA President definitely left his mark on the nation.  How do you think historians will view his management of the economy?
