Now, I see Bush and remember better days

You mean ...
Like the bubble in housing prices (which Rove helped create by encouraging easy lending to low incomes?)?

Like the stock market crash of 2008?

Like the federal deficits that were the largest ever, until bush’s record helped elect Obama?

I can only speak for myself, ofcourse, but the Bush years were very good to my family. Whether that can be attributed to Bush and many of his policies is certainly up for debate. One thing is certain, Bush and co. never put a gun to anyone’s head any told them to mortgage themselves like crazy to buy big screen TVs and 4,000 sq foot McMansions they couldn’t dream of affording. The elites manipulate the masses and the masses always fall for the same tricks. Hook, line and sinker.

WTF! What in the hell are you talking about? Rove?? Which state did he represent in Congress? You have to be kidding.

Wait! Let’s not start parroting the 8 year drumbeat anti-Bush propaganda from the leftwing media. Bush tried several times to reform Freddie and Fannie but was stopped by Frank and others. The encouraging of easy lending began under Clinton, and what I remember is, before the Dems took over Congress in 2007, the economy was doing well, with unemployment (real unemployment) at 5-6%, the DOW at 14K, and inflation not what it is now. Although I don’t think W was a great president, he certainly was much better than what we have now. On top of that, unlike Carter and Clinton, the man has showed a lot of class as ex-president.
