Meet the Joselin Elders of Economics. This may explain why the Clinton recession didn’t begin until after W took office.

Didn’t we go into a recession a year ago, one year after we got us a democrat majority Senate and House.

Once the housing market crashed a recession was not to be avoided due to the contamination of the financial system. Let's also not forget how much of the economy was credit driven as well.

On the other hand, Bush inherited a slumping economy that was damaged not only by the tech bubble crash but the 9/11 plot that was hatched under Clinton's watch. The activities of the Bush administration over the past years were an effort to stave off the pain from both impacts. Yes, CRA was a Clinton play but no one said Bush had to go along with waiving limits on leverage that allowed banks and other institutions to lend and borrow with no concern.

Man, that guy is pretty female-ish looking for a man. Not surprising for an 0bama voter though.
