No, you dumb sh**, the legacy of the democratic congress. Our economy was going good until after the 2006 election.Also, W tried to get Fannie and Freddie over hauled, along with a lot of other Republicans, but of course the Dems blocked all the moves.
The only good growth we saw was the result of bouncing off a bottom that W helped create with his idiotic economic speeches and willful ignorance of modern American economics. Every tax cut W did was a bad one. The only one that worked was the one mainly written by congressman Bill Thomas. What growth we saw was the result of government expansion, higher commodity prices, and the real estate bubble (W was pushing home ownership too). It wasn't healthy and it wasn't sustainable.
W's most famous line will be that we need [lawbreakers] to do the work Americans won't do. It's too bad we couldn't have impeached him for that. W's a jerk and so are you. He's just about destroyed the Republican party and people like you who defend his incompetence are no help. The only reason Republicans still have a chance of being elected is because the Donks are bad too.
