Dems spend, spend, spend. Then, when things are utterly screwed up, Republicans get elected and need to dig the country out of the hole.
It's easy to look successful if you have snowshovelfulls of $100's to toss around.
Republican President = Good economy, MSM says its bad.
Democrat President = Economy sucks, MSM puts on knee pads.
Fact of life. Bush created 400k jobs, MSM reports worst economy since Hoover. Obama created 47 million new wards of the state and the economy is humming along.
