The thing is you are only going to get more of it. This will be their campaign theme so from now until November we will hear more about Bush's bad economic policies. When Obama's and the Democratic congresses policies are far worse. I sure hope more people wake up and vote the clowns out and I hope it serves as a wake up call to the Republicans to stop pretending to be liberals and really start being responsible.
Invest in the private sector so that jobs can be created not lost under the current Idiot In Chief and his culture of corruption. Let's start rewarding success instead of punishing it. Let's give people a reason to work and even better, the opportunity to do so instead of controlling them.
It is amazing the levels that these people will stoop too. Right now, I think we would all take Bush's economic policies back over the failures of the current administration and the pathetic Democrat controlled congress. You know, Bush the President whom while he spent uncontrollably still spent far less than now, and the same guy who called for oversight into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and was denied by Dems.
But seriously, this is what they are running on? They pretty much have NO wins or successes to speak of so they are reverting to what worked 2 years ago. I think people are a lot smarter now and realize that Obama and his ilk just equates to worse economic conditions and corruption.
I only wish that credt card bill and the ones that changed the way banks do business had passed. I'm tired of these failures.
Well, yeah, Carter was a weak buffoon.....very similar to the current buffoon. Then again, the current buffoon will make it his legacy to blame someone else.
The legacy of Bush and the utter devastation to America will take a lot longer than just one president to clean up. The Iraq war is still far from over and by totally screwing up the Afghanistan war, Bush has saddled America in another extremely costly war that may very well take a decade or more to end. Then, of-course, the economy that Bush vomited onto America has taken a huge toll on our citizens and is not going to recover anytime soon. America's reputation with the world is improving day by day so we can be thankful that the world community has forgiven America for its arrogance and stupidity under Bush.
Bush will surely go down as the very worse president in out nation's history and that stain will take some time to erase.

Seriously, don't believe everything that you read and less than half of what you hear. You are classically misinformed.
Obama can claim that he inherited all of the Bush things that he wants, but the one thing he has MOST DEFINITELY inherited is the mantle of Worst President in history and he has done that in less than 2 years. Congrats!!

I seem to recall Sen Obama, who had been in the Senate since 2004, voting on ALL the appropriations bills that increased this country's debt. And let's not forget, he has been part of the leadership of the democratically controlled congress (from whence ALL spending originates) since 2007.
The recession was caused by high private debt levels relative to GDP.
Bush's cabinet encouraged the greatest malinvestment of private debt in American history, through a litany of tools including: low interest rates, nonregulation of mortgage securitization, and forcing states to abdicate mortgage lending regulation to the US Gov't.
The size of public debt -- "the deficit" -- is peanuts compared to the size of the U.S. private debt that is slowly killing our economy.
I will grant that the GOP didn't create these problems single handedly (the GSEs were decades old and bipartisan), and that the Democrats were certainly not providing sensible alternatives, but don't try and rewrite history as if its unfair to blame Bush for today's problems. As long as the Republicans fail to acknowledge the economic policy failures of his administration, the Democrats will rightfully and successfully continue to pin this on Bush.
