Measures of growth are done in percentages, because growth is compounding. Despite whatever numbers sound large to you, the fact remains that President Bush has had below average growth. It's not even a political statement: it's a simple fact that we've had below average growth.
If you were to put all of the Presidents since WWII, and you want to grade them by their economic growth rates, then President Bush is once again performing as a C student, below average.
