if Bush did anything to help out during the 4 buck gasoline era, please enlighten me.

You seem to imply that Bush was dictating the economic policy. If you check the Constitution, for what it's worth these days, it puts most of that on Congress. Crude prices doubled in approximately a year after the 2007 dem take over. Bush was for projects like ANWAR, etc. GWB did a lot of things I couldn't stand but blaming that on him is false.

The subprime mess was created by congress. The term 'subprime' itself means less qualified borrowers. Congress mandated that these borrowers be accomodated through the Community Reinvestment act and similar such measures.

The Wall Street mess is part his fault though. At this point it's more like him turning on a spigot and obama taking a sledgehammer to the pipe.

>that Bush was dictating <

not all all, my claim is more like, he was
asleep at the wheel.. or more likely, he went along with what the Dems wanted in exchange for two more years of
occupation of Iraq.

Bush had a Republican Congress for six years,
what am I suppose to believe?......

just because I supported the WOT in 2002,
does mot mean that I support a 30 year, 20 Trillion occupation of Afghanistan.

just get out.
