Wayne, It doesn't quite seem fair, though. Hoover got ALL the credit for The Great Depression, and certainly Republicans deserved a lot of it. But it looks like Bush will get ALL the credit for the recession and Clinton, Reuben, Greenspan and the Plunge Protection Posse will certainly be largely responsible. But, as they say in both the Army and Civil Service, "if it happens on your watch, you have to fall on your sword." That's why I never wore a watch for 4 years of Army and 4 years of Civil Service. <g>
