Economy under W. Bush was fine until the democrat socialists took over both the Senate and House due to the Nov., 2006 election. Bush was basically stripped of any power, even moreso than other presidents who in their 7th and 8th years in the White House faced both the Senate and House in the opposition party hands. Check the economic numbers before the Nov. 2006 election and also remember that while Bush was trying to better regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the democrat socialists were pushing on us Jimmy Carter’s “Community Re-Investment Act.” ..... And with W, our allies were confident in us and trusted us, and our enemies or potential enemies knew that Bush believed in defending ourselves and our allies. ... Like any president or any man, W was flawed. But he had America’s best interests at heart, and under relentless siege from a media and opposition party intent every day on ruining him, he kept a quiet and humble dignity that is totally absent in the current Oval Office occupier.

Nope, the “good economy” under Bush was an illusion - the result of an unsustainable housing bubble that he helped inflate, with easy-lending policies to poor people who shouldn’t have been buying homes. The bubble was bound to burst, and when it did - by 2008 - we almost had another 1929.
