this market collapse seems to be a confidence crisis. the numbers just aren't that bad.. in comparison to the markets reaction at least. like I said before. its important for the president to show leadership, express optimism, and confidence about the economy present and future. bush is being held accountable now for using negativity about the economy to get his tax bill. and it has eroded the public's and the market's confidence, and the confidence of other countries in the US. clinton, as imperfect as he was, never lost sight of expressing confidence about the economy, communicating his main priority was to 'grow' the economy and create jobs. he criticized bush last fall for trashing the economy. bush made a big political error. all that 'warning lights on the dashboard' talk.
