I live in Maine and blaming Bush for what is happening to factories here in Maine is like blaming the FAA for road conditions.
The Dems in Maine have spent and taxed heavy industry here into oblivion and blamed the lack of replacement work on the National government.....
Very few industries move here after doing basic research.
Not sure about that. Bush still has a lot of power to nullify unfair trade agreements like NAFTA, and to end the H1-B and L-1 visas, as well as tax companies that outsource, give tax breaks to companies that open factories that employ americans, shift away from depending on a personal income and instead finance our government with tarrifs like we used to.
What you seem to forget, is that bush is the leader of the republican party, who control both housed of congress. Just about anything that bush wanted to do to improve the jobs and economy, would sail thru congress , but they arent even proposing to do anything, much like Hoover ignored the economy.

Anyways, it doesnt matter even if it wasnt his fault, he will still get kicked out of office if the jobs and factories are not back by next summer.
I dont think it was Nixons fault that we had the recession of 1958-1960 and the people voted for Kennedy, I dont think it was Fords fault that we had a recession in 1974-1976 and put Carter in the white house, and it wasnt entirely bush's fault for the recession of the early 1990's that put Clinton in the white house.
Doesnt matter. If you are president and you oversee good times change to bad times, the people will vote you out to get a change, any change.
