I dunno
It's like a funny thing happened on the way to the depression
The Bush administration gutted the economy, severely restricted revenue and then for good measure gave a couple of re-election wars, and on the way out the door literally emptied the treasury for the benefit of his banker buddies, the have mores....
Not sure how that could have been weathered, but it was
And the economy is recovering in spite of dedicated GOP efforts to derail any progress that might make Obama out to be the magician he is
And now we see about half the Americans indicate that they really liked the way Bush did it and will vote for the guy who promises to take up where that imbicile left off, obviously including a lot of folks here....
Go figure, what a country.....
