Oh, sorry, GWB doesn’t have facial hair… But then, can’t be Hitler (with his famous facial hair) either – he came to power in depression, not just simple recession.

This article defines depression as a recession that lasts longer and has a larger decline in business activity.

When is the winner going to be announced? :)
My 2nd guess would also be the son of Maria Schicklgruber…
