These silly Conservatives! They never break ranks when faced with truths.
When this awful recession began on George W. Bush's watch (and remember, it was on his watch that September 11 happened), Rush Limbaugh said that he "Chooses not to participate" in the recession. Limbaugh pointed out that recessions are basically brought on by panic and a reasonable person would carry on, in spite of foreclosure, job loss and privation.
Now that the economy is turning, after a devastating collapse of the financial sector (the most dire economic circumstances to over come), Conservatives are wringing their hands! Why? Because it is an election year and there is a Democratic incumbent. Had the situation been reversed and there was a Republican incumbent, the Conservatives would be unable to contain themselves! The glee! The revelry they would show would have you think that there never was a derivatives market responsible for breaking banks from New York to Athens.
