I don't want to complain about Bush. I actually appreciate the job he did.

Do you really want to brag about record market highs? Really? You want to brag about the fact that deregulation led to three major unsustainable bubbles that ultimately crashed the global market? You want to brag about market highs that, if were real would have remained even with AIG and Lehman Brothers tanking because that would mean the money actually existed rather than just numbers on a page written with disappearing ink?

Bush had us in a recession since 2007. He just didn't admit until late 2008 when there was nothing that could be done. His employment record was for shit since he never created any new jobs and people were clinging on for dear life to the ones they had.

And the reason that the Obama administration look the way it does is because they are actually putting all the spending out in the open, including the huge amount that Bush/Cheney ran up prosecuting the war in Iraq. But conservatives are using that new number to club Obama for running up the deficit?

The stimulus was watered down because Democrats failed to do a big enough job the first time, thanks to the sniping and non-constructive efforts of the Republicans who were concerned more with making new policy fail than getting the economy back on track. And most of those republicans are ones that came in on the coattails of Bush's policies.

So now, there are a lot more people who are voting Democrat. Very much appreciated, President Bush.
