When democrats came to power in jan 2007 the economy was doing great. Unemployment was 4.7 the deficit was going down rapidly because of record revenues to the treasury. Those results were driven by good tax cuts that did not increase the deficits.

Bush kept the nation safe from further terror attacks.

Conservatives and republicans do not invite bush because they are owned by America’s intellectual establishments. They believe the outrageous theater of Katrina and Iraq the illegal war.

Reagan did amnesty. Bush didn’t. Reagan did o Connor for the court. Reagan saw massive deficits and was less effective militarily than bush.

No, we wer in the 8th year of a housing bubble that was about to burst and wreak havoc on the economy. The bubble was pumped up by policies that Bush helped promote — easy lending to poor people. Rove and Bush thought it would buy them minority votes. Instead, it bought us the biggest recession since the 1930s.
