    Default Bush recession now official

    Not that we didn't know it already. But it is so Bush to leave an economic mess for the next president to clean up.

    Sorry to bust your bubble Gabby - but it is not official.

    From your link

    By one benchmark, a recession occurs whenever the gross domestic product, the total output of goods and services, declines for two consecutive quarters. The GDP turned negative in the July-September quarter of this year, and many economists believe it is falling in the current quarter at an even sharper rate.

    so you admit clinton screwed up and handed bush a stock bubble which harmed the economy....

    remind me again of which president soon to be elect sued citibank and others to force them to loan to people in inner cities/minorities who did not have the proper credit, remind me again what president altered the housing act in 96'....remind me again which president in 2001 and onward warned you libs about the impending housing crisis, remind me again which AZ senator to recently run for high office tried to warn you guys back in 2005 and remind me again which side of the aisle were the congressmen on that yelled at republicans in 2003 to stop fear mongering about the housing crisis....

    remind me again of which illinois senator said that fm and fm were just fine in 2007

    I have to agree with RSR, this is one article using one type of definition which is to help Obama escape the inevitable plummeting of our financial sectors as it became clear that he would likely win. This is and will be Obama's recession or lord help us, depression.

    While normally one can't assign fault to one person, in this case Obama has made clear that all change is through him.

    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Jeff, Pres Bush and McCain tried to fix the problem before it exploded. - but Dems blocked the efforts

    I oppose the bailouts, but if Dems would have not been out to block everything Pres Bush tired to do, we may not be in the situation we are now in

    LOL!!! Bush's Treasury Secretary is the program's creator and biggest proponent! He's more Hamiltonian than Hamilton!!! And McCain voted for the bailouts!!

    Bush has never proposed any serious solutions to the present crisis, like complete privatization of Fannie and Freddie or permanent tax cuts.
