Quote:

The economy was great under Kennedy, Johnson & Clinton.

Under both Bush's? We tanked! Starting under Reagan, the Banking and insider scandals. Under W, an unregulated credit market tanks the market. Coincidence?? Perhaps.






That was a masterful job at tossing blame, but I don't buy it.

The President doesn't handle the purse strings in this country, The congress does. I could blame two years of the worst rated congress in this country's history, for the recent collapse. (Reid, Pelosi, Barney Frank, etc) The economy was doing allot better until they took over.

What was going right about the 90s economy for the first two years of Clinton's first term? Nothing. Things only got better after Newt Gingrich and the Republicans took over congress.

Also don't forget that George W Bush inherited The Dot.com bubble that was vastly over appreciated, and destined to collapse. You combine that, along with the unexpected 9-11 attack, Katrina, the far left bomb throwers who were constantly attacking and undermining this administrations efforts both home and abroad, all together.... and It's incredible that the economy held out for as long as it did. I also think it's interesting that the Dow fell 486.01 today, and no one in the liberal media thought to mention it. You can be sure that if McCain had won, they'd be harping on it. Implying that the public lacked confidence in his upcoming Presidency. But of course, Obama gets special treatment.
