Bush did the opposite. Duh! 9/11, two wars, the Clinton/Gore recession, Katrina and then another recession at the end of his term.... He was President....not God. Certainly, Bush's own budget policies were not good and that contributed which is the main beef most conservatives have with Bush. The Repub. Congress before they went over the cliff is more responsible for the economic shape the country was in at the end of Clinton's term, although you have to give Clinton some credit for signing on....

But there is no denying Clinton left the country in far better fiscal shape than when he found it. This is a most inept, ignorant, child-like view of fiscal matters. It is as though fiscal events are ended on the date a president leaves office. His actions don't affect future deficits. Congressional actions during his term don't affect economic conditions. It is very tidy. Except it is utter bullshit. Just how naive are you to think that this Obama actually inherited all the bad stuff but brought the good stuff with him? You totally discount the politics of the matter as though Obama isn't the most political individual to hold the office in decades. He lies and misleads -- constantly. I don't expect you to change your nutjob views but at least you could rescind your fairy tale for a few minutes.
