Studio, At the risk of sounding like I'm trying to defend Bush;
Our economy was already in a recession when Bush took office. The Internet bubble was already bursting. Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, etc., were already exploding. Less than a year into his presidency we get hit with 9/11. Katrina was one of the worst natural disasters to hit the country and certainly hurt. And the economic problem is at a global scale, and can not be laid solely at the feet of Bush or the US. Clinton, conversely, had the luxury of being in the right place at the right time with the rise of the Internet economy. To somehow suggest Clinton was an economic success and Bush an economic failure is to ignore some very basic facts. Looking only at the numbers and ignoring what was going on misses the point.
