I’m aware of their role in the mess but he was the president he could have done something but sadly he didn’t have a clue about the economy. Neither did Cheney. They literally thought nothing was wrong for years... ‘deficits dont matter!’

Well I knew it would end in a disaster and i’m glad everything collapsed on his watch to ruin his legacy.

He made it worse of course by bailing out Wall Street and sending Paulson to Congress to tell us the world would end if a few investment banks went down.

Crazy and infuriating but i’m glad he’s gone and no longer defines ‘conservatism’ because it’s a kind I reject.

He was President, not dictator. The Dems had enough votes to block any action proposed by the GOP.

Very interesting that you want Bush to take the fall for it, even though you acknowledge the Dems part in it.

I'll grant that he let the Dems walk all over him after they won control of Congress, and his "reaching across the aisle" helped give them Congress. Although I don't blame him for the collapse, this is a big reason why I agree with "No New Bushes".
