Every president attempts to take credit for good times.

Bush is only guilty of putting in a gigantic tax cut that benefits disproportionately his rich friends and of not being a good enough steward to see the possible consequences of such action in the event of unfavorable economic developments. His perceived attitude toward corporate malfeasance doesn't help any.

"The good news is that there are plenty of other ways to rein in corporate malfeasance. The bad news is that, his rhetoric notwithstanding, Bush opposes almost all of them."

The New Republic, p 7, July 22.

(I won't reprise here the sorry tale of Bush's false assertion that he, during the campaign, stated a caveat on budgetary deficits, ie that they would be allowable only under conditions of war or other such emergencies.)
