It’s 1992 all over again. with the success of the surge demos needed a new crisis, so they drag out the big lie that the economy is terrible. It worked for them in ‘92, remember?

Looks very similar to me.

...so they drag out the big lie that the economy is terrible...

They and their willing MSM accomplices.

Amen to that. Dems (and the press) seem to have a hard time suppressing glee at the soft economic numbers. The media will make the economy the number one issue. Just the fact that they basically ignored the entire positive part of this cycle is evidence.

I have never been a huge fan of Bush (as my past posts show), and as an Economics major (and a monetarist at that) I don’t believe the president influences the economy very much under usual circumstances... but the president had to provide over an inherited downturn, the terrorist attacks, corporate scandals, etc., and for six years we had a pretty good run. Nary a word about it in the press; one would think the last seven years were merely the dot-com burst, enron, war in Iraq and now the sub-prime mortgages, all back to back.
