Very dishonest response. As he said, he did *not* blame Clinton or his
administration. The fact that Bush inherited an economy in recession is
just that: FACT. He didn't say it was anyone's fault. In fact it
wasn't. There was a bubble and just like all bubbles we loved it and
rode it until it burst. And that created a recession. The recession
ended in 2 quarters (which is pretty damn good as that is the *minimum*
amount of time that a recession can exist based on current definitions)
and the economy has grown steadily in every quarter since. No
exceptions. Whether Clinton did good or bad, or whether Bush 41 did
good or bad, or whether Kim Jung Il's hair is wierd, or anything else
is quite irrelevant to the simply point that the poster made. Bush's
economy has been *extremely* successful.
