They did report the trend, which makes Obama look bad as it should. W was terrible at economics. Obama is worse.

You might want to take into account that the media, along with Dodd/Frank and the DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED CONGRESS sabotaged Bush’s presidency to set the stage for the election of MR. “CHANGE”. They did the same thing to Nixon and would’ve gotten Reagan too but they actually liked him too much.

THEY ARE RIGHT! If Bush wasn’t such a wuss and let the Liberals and Media make him into a pinata—insult him and the White House at every turn, we wouldn’t have been saddled with Obama, the Socialist in Chief. If he hadn’t been panicked into the first stimulus over the Congress and the Barney Franks of the world—it would not have open the flood gates of spending that sent us to the bottom. If he had some spine—or better advisers—he wouldn’t be in this mess. That being said the real culprit isn’t Bush or Obama but the Progressives in Congress that caused this (and still are).

Yup Moonbeam, those damn W years were God awful. We had 4-5% unemployment, the stock market hit 14,000 in 2007.....it sucked, it really sucked. Deficit Spending was between 1.2 - 1.4% of the GDP. It sucked. It really sucked. Bush was 100% responsible for everything that is bad in the US.
