The morons at Media Matters don't seem to understand the plain meaning of the word inherit in this context. The recession began a month into Bush's first term. Nothing significant changed between January and March, 2001. The events that led to the recession - the banking crises, the dot com bubble, the stock market bubble - all happened during the Clinton Administration. In the summer of 2000, everyone knew the party was over, it was only a question of when the recession would actually hit.
