I believe that Bush was lied to about the economy in a very successful way. He wasn't so easily fooled on foreign policy because his heart was in it from the beginning. I also think that no one really wanted to believe that the Dem party (and a good portion of the Repub) leaders really are not “American” any longer and would take our economy out if given a chance, in order to bring in more economic socialism. In a word...change.

I choose to believe that Bush is as least as educated as I am concerning free market’s and that while he ran as a conservative he goverened as a socialist. He appointed fellow travelers to serve with him, socialists all.
