No, the recession started in March 2001 and Bush has been one of the worst economic presidents in history. He has allowed 1.85 manufacturing jobs disappear from our country and never said a peep about it. He has also presided over the worse energy gouging in our history, as well as gouging in the health care sectors. Now the economy is in limbo with no plans for how to pay off the massive 2 trillion in new debt Bush has dumped on us. Bush's answer, go to Walmart or McDonalds for a job. But CEO's and bilionaires must be protected at all costs. Their wel-being seems to be Bush's only priority.

By the way, the recession ended September 2001. In other words, this was the shortest recession possible under the technical definition of a recession (three quarters of negative GDP growth). bea.doc.gov; Yes, and job growth didn't start until Fall, 2003. While the gov't's definition of a recession may have ended in Sept. 2001, for the rest of us, it didn't end until two years later. You could say that Bush did pretty well given the mess Clinton handed him. Mess? You're full of it. What's Gray Davis the 2nd going to do? Bring back the recession, then blame that on Bush? You'll just have to sit back and watch. But I promise you one thing, we will blame every POS on Bush. ;~) ted
