The Big Bad Wolf.
Bush inherited a freakin recession and you know it.
Even if that WERE the case, he made it WORSE!!
Actually, Bush handled the 2001 recession reasonably well. Unemployment never got above 6.3%, despite 9/11 and everything else.
The 2008 recession, that's another matter.
No he didn't. There wasn't all that much of a "recession" either. The "Dot Com" bubble bascially was done. The result was a crap load of used tech gear that people were able to pawn off to more established companies. Cisco and the like took a hit..but they started innovating. Beginning with developing things like switches instead of hubs.
What Bush did was to drop interest rates to zero and severely inflate the housing and construction industry. That was the bubble that nearly did in the US economy.
