gw has had his way on everything. His tax cut was reduced in half by republicans

Which means it is one thing he has not had his way one.

If the economy sucks, it is his fault.

If it sucks he'll get blamed but that doesn't mean its his fault. A lot of the economy has nothing to do with the presidents actions. And to the extent that the actions do effect the economy it can sometimes take years to have its full impact. Furthermore the fact that Bush was pushed to not implement his first tax break quickly but to phase it in and had his second tax cut, cut in half, means that there is even a bigger delay and smaller benefits from the tax cut.

None of which will prevent him from taking the political hit if the economy does go down the toilet.
