<No; I want to fault him cuz we came to a fork in the road, and he chose the one taking us over the cliff. He and his disciples did the same thing to Calif. We're now on the road to recovery, having ended much of the tyranny of the minority in the lege with various propositions, and we voted to raise taxes on the rich.<
Really, you read all the articles about how the African Americans made such advances during the Reagan Administration.. The economy was booming like never before.. Which was fantastic due to the horrible recessions of the Carter Administration.
Things were pretty good after the Regan Administration during the Clinton years, and the Bush years wouldn't have been so bad if the Democrats hadn't played "obstructionists" when the Bush Administration and the Republicans warned of systemic risks at the GSE's and asked Congress to create a new regulatory agency to more highly regulate Freddie and Fannie.

California is on the road to recovery?? You have to be kidding me.. Corporations and the rich are leaving it at a record pace. It was bad enough that the Red States(Texas) were pillaging Corporations from California like Toyota, etc. But, the Tesla deal was the best.. Now even the other Blue States are pillaging California's Corporations.
California's public education system is in shambles... Ranked 47th in the nation.

You voted to raise taxes on the rich.. And the rich have responded by beginning to leave.
We swapped states of residency last year, opting to declare our Marco Island home as our permanent residence instead of the Del Mar area. We still spend about 4 months of the year in a home owned by the Trust in the Del Mar area (summer months, June, July, August, September). But, we no longer pay California Income Tax, and we vote in Florida. We maintain diligent records of our location along with cell phone records to prove we no longer reside in California more than half the year.

Avoiding income tax Lee Schneider, a hedge fund salesman who works from home, also cited Prop. 30 as the "deciding factor" for his move from Walnut Creek to Austin, Texas, in 2012. The California native had recently built a $2 million house at the foot of Mount Diablo and took a loss on the sale, but "I can make half of it back in one year of tax savings," he says.
Schneider's neighborhood in Texas, which has no state income tax, is full of cars with license-plate frames from California dealerships. On a flight from Austin to Los Angeles shortly before Christmas, 11 of the 12 seats in the emergency row were occupied by people who had moved from California to Texas, he says.
Another telling statistic: On the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, where there is no state income tax, 151 homes sold for more than $1 million in 2013. That was 86 percent higher than the previous year. On the California side, only 67 homes sold for more than $1 million, down 9 percent from 2012, according to Susan Lowe, a broker with Chase International.

Just wait until the water runs out in S. California. Water prices skyrocket.. The lines leaving the State will be long.
"According to the chart, the Bush administration began with a $5.8 trillion gross federal debt, which grew by $6.1 trillion to reach $11.9 trillion -- an increase of 105 percent, or slightly more than double."
LOL!! You better talk to your President about that. He states that Bush added 4Trillion to the National Debt. From 5 Trillion to 9 Trillion.

Man, the guy was gone for nearly 9 months with Obama in charge and you still want to blame all the spending on Bush. Just Sad and Tragic...
Yeap,, we can pin the largest domestic spending appropriation in history on Bush, which was introduced in Congress 6 days after Obama took office????.

**To respond to the Great Recession, the primary objective for ARRA was to save and create jobs almost immediately. Secondary objectives were to provide temporary relief programs for those most impacted by the recession and invest in infrastructure, education, health, and renewable energy. The approximate cost of the economic stimulus package was estimated to be $787 billion at the time of passage, later revised to $831 billion between 2009 and 2019**
Oh yeah.. Bush held "budgetary sway" to print up 800 million freshly printed dollars to fund the ARRA2009 2 months after he was out of office. Just Pathetic from that web site of non-waivering credibility.. politifact.com. Do you consider yourself "highly-educatedd"?? Really????

If the Democrats hadn't been obstructionist when Bush and the Republicans pleaded to increase oversight over the GSE's starting back in 2002. Then some of this mess and this HUGE Recovery Spending may not have been necessary.. But, then, you prefer to be a revisionist, and actually blame the mess on Bush and the Republicans when it was the Republicans and the Bush Administration that introduced legislation multiple times to increase oversight. The Democrats wanted nothing to do with it..
