Are you saying that the economic results of the *NEXT ONE TO THREE YEARS* should be averaged in with the balance of the 'Bush policy years', so as to make a full eight, before we can properly access the effect of 'the Bush term's policies'?

That would be a start.

But the effects of presidential policies can continue even after they have been replaced by new policies by a new president, and typically the policies of any particular president don't account for the majority of what happens to the economy, so figuring out the effects of different policy changes or of the some total of policy changes pushed in to effect by a president isn't a matter of simply looking at a few economic statistics, or in most cases even by complex economic studies.

I'm more interested in your response to the other two points, but I've refrained from bringing them up again, both because I've done so several times, and because you wanted to deal with one point at a time.
