The last two years of Bush's term were controlled by the DEM’s,thus ,most of the excessive spending. Under Bush the stock market recorded all-time highs. Bush tried many times to reel in Fannie and Freddie ,but was ignored by the DEM’s every time.Bush was certainly not perfect,but I would trade him for the disaster in the WH. every day of the week!!!If the Tea party and the R.s dont get together ,look forward to years of total dismantling of the America we all love!

He never really fought for anything. Did he put in 1/10 the energy into social security reform that Barry did? Did he veto one irresponsible spending bill? And why did the dems get control of congress? At least partly because there was no perceived difference between the parties. Republicans were dems lite. As far as the stock market is concerned it hasn’t functioned as a truly free market since 1987. No the death knell of the party was the prescription drug benefit. It showed the party truly lost it’s way.
