Not partisan at all. When W came into office, the dot com bubble had burst, not to mention Enron...remember all that ? Had zero to do w/ the Bush policies. Then there was 9/11. A major financial hit. After Bush's taxe cuts had time to take effect, things started rollin along again. Then, in '06, the Dems took control of Congress. Add to that the hike in the min wage, and Fannie/ Freddie's chickens coming home to roost, the economy started to slide.

It's all in how you look at the numbers. Look at it from the peak to the end of his 2nd term, and you see Bush presiding over a 45% drop in the Dow in less than two years.

Yeah, and you'd like to ignore the rebound the economy had, despite a ridiculous ( and turns out, unnecessary ) spike in the price of Oil, again, an external force that slowed growth. Imagine what the economy would have been like had gas not tripled in price.

Naww... forgeit it.I'm asking a simpleton to 'imagine' anything. My bad.
