"Then they will tell us the economy was good, but faltered under Bush's leadership even though they've never admitted it was good."
Sort of like the way the liberals refers to the wonderful solidarity, consensus, and resolve against the Soviet foe that "we" all shared during the cold war, in contrast to the divisive atmosphere created by Bush?
Not a bad analogy. I never thought of it that way. But I must say that the Dems don't ordinarily mention how much they supported the Cold War.
