not to mention a CIA that was completely demoralized, a military that was completely demoralized as well as expecting Barney Frank to be annointed CIC anyday... a state department that thought foreign policy was appeasement and compromise when not retreating from the merest sign of violent behavior or shouting... I could go on.......... regards from Chuck

Bush has been good for the stock market because he gave away huge deficit financed dividend tax cuts which mainly benefit the most wealthy people but drain the Treasury. Also, Bush took the markets down to the very bottom with the Iraq War so the recovery since looks more stellar. IMHO the markets are now way overvalued just like the real estate markets. Something has got to give sooner or later. IBM for instance is at the same price it was in 1999. Maybe though this has to do with the 35% fall of the dollar and IBM's overseas revenues. So $95 is actually $70 in 1999 dollars. We're not doing as well as it looks.

You're doing the RNC spin thing: everything is Clinton's fault. That's pure Shrubbery whining to Daddy that Clinton isn't being nice to him. What did Shrubbery run on? Did he run on: we're in recession, the economy sucks, the stock market sucks, unemployment is high and I'll fix it? Clinton handed over a strong economy, high employment, solid international relations and the biggest SURPLUS in history. Shrubbery simply handed that SURPLUS over to his buddies. Total bs. Go look at the BLS numbers. You do your own homework. Oh yeah, Clinton also handed Shrubbery AQ and terrorism as a cabinet level priority. Shrubbery dismissed that to return to star wars. Shrubbery has had over 3 years to "fix" things. Why hasn't he?
