This wasn't "trying to make the Bush economy look good", its not about Bush, its about the fact that the economy has done fairly well. Its using a 10 year period to smooth out short term changes. Its a response to "all the jobs are just burger flipping jobs", a type of comment that was heard long before Bush came in to office, which was false then and is false now. Its not a response to "the economy has done poorly under Bush". The later doesn't really need responding to because the economy clearly hasn't done poorly.

If you want to focus more narrowly on Bush, well Bush took over when the economy was in or heading in to a recession, than you had 9/11, but since than the economy has done well.
