Has anyone realized Bush inherited himself a declining economy

[bufffbison]

And a recession? just like what he blamed Clinton for?


im just curious who will the republican candiate will blame for the prolong recession for eight years in a row in 2008?

[AlCzervik]

1. Clinton.

[Sannum]

2. The Clenis!!!

3. He's been extremely unlucky.

In his first term he inherited a recession so bad that economists didn't know there was a recession until March in his first term.

Then to make matters worse, he'll begin his second term having inherited a recession from the previous presidency.

6. The 'new economics' are pretty amazing, huh?

4. The real question is:

Will Bush even notice? :eyes:

5. Everything is Clinton's fault

The Clinton economy was just so weak and on such a downturn that there was no way Bush could recover in a measly 8 years. Therefore, we must restore the economy by increasing presidential term limits indefinitely, because Bush's policy will only start working after 16 to 20 years :). I'm all for it.
...
If I hear "we're making progress" or "we've turned the corner" on this topic in 4 years, I honestly think my head will explode.

7. "It's hard work..."

Turning an economy around.

Of course...when Bush and Cheney started bad-mouthing the economy during the 2000 campaign...when it hadn't even BEGUN to go sour yet...now That was a turn-around! That they could manage...the markets run on emotion as much as anything else...talk negative...people think negative...and the market begins to wobble.
