You're trying to have an " intelligent " conversation ? You coulda fooled me.
Frankly, I don't know anyone, not a single person, and that includes Dems ( thought they aren't politicians nor talking heads ), who blames President Bush for having lost money in the stock, or commodities, or options, of the bond market. If you do and you know others who do so too, then they have absolutely NO business in the " game ". They and YOU don't understand it.
Think about it. You lose 60- 70% of your retirement because of greenspan and co creating a stock market bubble. Then you get out with at least some pocket change again. Now they say oh you should have stayed invested for the long haul. Bullspit. What do you think the people over at the enron window think and how do they feel? What about world com and all the rest. There is resentment and it will surface
