As a supplement to what I just posted to you, the 1981-1983 U.S. economy lost about 2 million nonfarm jobs. Payrolls slowly recovered into early 1984 and then surged for the next 6 years, bringing unemployment down from above 8 to just over 5 percent. In a recovery, economic growth often comes before job growth.

"He is the first president since Herbert Hoover to have a net job loss on his watch" Well, there you go. Two of the largest bubbles in our history netting similar results. Per your POV, Clinton's bubble burst & somehow that's Bush's fault. Now add to the bursting bubble economy the horrific disaster of 9/11 & the multi-trillion dollar hit to the economy. You never include this in your POV, however, you still you maintain that the economic problems & the job losses are 100% Bush's fault. I think that Bush's response to both instances kept the economy from considerably worse performance. And I can say that without revising history or ignoring significant relevant facts.
