In some degree of fairness to Carter (who I thought was weak) high unemployment and interest rates was a global phenomenon - not a purely domestic one. As for 7 years of prosperity... that conveniently ignores the worst downturn since the depression in the 8th year. Now the trigger for that WAS predominantly USA-centric. Bush may not have started the rot but he did continue it and exacerbated it by removing regulation over the finance sector and he was slow (to put it mildly) in recognizing and dealing with the massive collapse. History will NOT be kind to GWB.

He gave us high unemployment and high interest rates.
