From this article in the Times covering Bush's Labor Day speech:

Mr. Bush's only new announcement today, the traditional start of campaign season in election years, was the creation of an assistant secretary of commerce for manufacturing, a step clearly intended to reinforce his commitment to bringing back blue-collar jobs.

But Mr. Bush said that in creating the post, he would address head-on the loss of what he said were "thousands of manufacturing jobs" in recent years.

In fact, around 3 million jobs have been lost since Mr. Bush took office, about 2.5 million of them in manufacturing.

Zing!

I watched that speech, and I gotta admit, ever since Letterman started doing The George W. Bush Joke That's Not Really a Joke every night, watching Bush has been a lot more fun.
