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?
Quite a few, if anyone is keeping track. Now the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has broken through the 10,000-point barrier. But that begs the question given the inevitable credit Obama will get from the media and other supporters for this rally, should former President George W. Bush get some of the credit if Obama is so willing to blame him for the collapse?
It's a question Neil Cavuto put to the test on his Oct. 14 Fox News "Your World" program speaking to Macro Portfolio Advisors Vice President Jim Lacamp.

I’ll give credit to O for the 10k. Let’s see how long it lasts.

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.

No, Bush doesn’t get credit. Remember:
1) Republicans are evil, incompetent hate mongers.
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???
