Cavuto: Since Obama Blames Bush for Economy, Does Bush Get Credit for Dow 10K?

How many times have we heard President Barack Obama or high-ranking members of his administration lament the fact that the president "inherited" a recession?

These financial "journalists" need to disregard the market and hammer Opossum mercilessly as the owner of 10%-plus unemployment.

Obama’s fault the dollar is going to be worth less. He gave away money to his followers, we didn’t even have.
He called it stimulus. Now our children will be working to pay back the interest on the debt for the rest of their lives.

2) When Republicans do something good, remember # 1. Democrats must have somehow been responsible.

Naaaa. Bush only gets credit for bad stuff. Can someone explain: TODAY, GOLD HITS RECORD $1072.00, DOW BREAKS 10000 FIRST TIME IN A YEAR, OIL BREAK $75 FIRST TIME IN A YEAR, RETAIL SALES DOWN FOR SEPTEMBER??? I guess they will tell us tomorrow that the recession is totally over???
