I'm better off too. Much better.
I don't think that many remember the incredible uncertainty that took place in October 2008 when Bush was bailing out Wall Street.
The worst days for the Dow are as follows:
A great many of the worst days happened in Bush's thankfully waning days. Say what you want about the DJIA but it's one of the bellweather signs of confidence--often times misplaced confidence in my view.
Why would we want to go back to the polices that caused the mess in the first place?
Bush bailed them out? I think Congress had to vote and the Democratically held Congress vote overwhelmingly to approve the bailout.
Bush pushed for it and signed it.
He had to have help to get it passed, he couldn't just make it happen, Obama and McCain voted for it as did others, it passed the Senate 74-25 and one no vote. 16 Republicans against, 9 Democrats against. In the House 10 Democrats and 156 Republicans voted against it.
He had Democrats and Republicans approval, to lay it at the feet of Bush is amusing at best.
