"...Bush will get the blame all the way to 2012 or God help us until 2016..."

Unfortunately, Bush deserves considerable condemnation for his domestic stewardship. Sure, Obama is making it worse, much worse. But Bush set the stage. It's healthy to admit it.

At this point it is NOT healthy to dwell on the minor errors of Bush - and yes they are minor compared with the massive amount of destruction obama has lined up.

Bush’s tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 helped create a growing economy. The Democrats after they took control of Congress killed off that recovery in 2007 and 2008 by refusing to extend the Bush tax cuts, threatening oil cos, which hiked oil prices, and engaging in other anti-business practices, like min wage hike that hurt low wage job growth. The Democrats further incited more financial mess along the way, like when Chuck Schumer got IndyMac bank to close.

We serve no-one when we let the Democrats falsely pin Bush for things the Democrats caused. I honestly believe that our economy would be MUCH STRONGER today if did not have a Democrat Congress since Jan 2007.
