Well, the first one not so much, because it’s about Bill Clinton letting bin Laden slip away and metasticize, rather than blaming Democrats for the economic malady.
The second one is a good step toward an argument, but it is just about positive economic signs in late 2006. I actually cite the DOW (nearly 12,000) and the unemployment rate (4.4%) prior to when the Democrats took over. I would say we need to take facts such as are presented in this article and marshal them into a larger argument: blame Democrats for killing the economy — primarily by poisoning the housing finance market.
Both articles are quite good: I put them into a word file for further “ammo.” Thanks for posting them.
The issue with letting OBL get away when we could have had him is the impact 911 and the WOT have had on our economy and budget.
But the key work is "inherited". Bush needlessly "inherited" OBL from Clinton (who BTW also didn't catch him in 8 years). The Democrat Congress "inherited" 4.5% unemployment from the GOP. That's what I was getting at.
