George Bush presided over the largest monetary loss in the Dow's history. He is the only president since Herbert Hoover to leave office with a Dow lower than when he entered office. In every economic performance indicator the presidency of George Bush ranks as the worst president ever, except for household income where he is tied for third worst ever. At the first sign of an uptick, Republicans and Fox News want to give all the credit to George Bush. But wait and see when the Dow fluctuates again, it will all be because of Barack Obama and his socialist tyranny. All good things come because of George W. Bush. Just watch Fox News for five minutes and you'll catch on really quickly.
The Bush Recovery
If you've paid attention to the slider at the top, the Republican media relations center tells us that we are now in the middle of the "Bush Recovery." If by recovery they are meaning that the nation is finally starting to rise out of the rubble Bush drove us into then I can almost agree. But if by recovery they are insinuating that George Bush is responsible for a resurgent Dow and the fluttering of economic growth we are witnessing then they are sadistically deranged.
