John, So Mr. Cheney moved to ensure that the new administration would not be blamed for an economic downturn if he and Mr. Bush were declared the winners of the election. In a televised interview in December, he declared, "We may well be on the front edge of a recession here." Mr. Cheney's prediction, which proved correct after the election was settled, began an effort by Mr. Bush and his team to deal with an issue that they had concluded before Election Day would loom over their agenda and political prospects if they won. Exactly, as I have been saying. The Bush folks have been trying to create the incorrect impression of a recession, so that they could take credit for fixing it later. The fact is that the economy is quite healthy, and Bush and company are a bunch of miserable political slimeballs. Scumbria
