It's the economy, stupid.

Looks like Bush won't neccessarily have a "booming" economy to talk about:

The pace of U.S. hiring slumped sharply in June after several months of robust gains, the government reported on Friday as employers added fewer than half the number of payroll jobs forecast and hours of work shrunk.

Coupled with today's news of renewed violence in central Baghdad it's proving to be another very tough week for Bush.
