Actually it hit my former industry (aerospace) before GW was even elected.  I got laid off as a result.  And the bulk of the stock market collapse happened before that.  The blame game is all partisan spin.

Odd, Funked up, the stock market pecked in Dec 2000..

Naw, if you take away Bush loosing the 300 billion surplus adding a half a Trillion more to the deficit.. tinkering with the Bill of Rights to cause major damage to the 1st and 4th amendments,... Lying through his teeth to the American people, Congress, the U.N security council about the reasons for war of aggression why.... you’d have a mighty fine President.

Would this be the same mainstream media that helped Dubya sell his little war?

The first big crash was the fall of 1998 actually.  It recovered some after that but that's when things started getting sketchy.  Right now the Dow is about where it was at the end of 1998.

Don Imus = Hot Air, and IIRK, Hot Air is thin Air, so you did in fact pull it out of thin air.

Best of luck to ya though!

It could never happen!!


Do I detect some wishful thinking MT?

Oh not that much... He didn't get a 60+% approval rating for the war on Iraq because of an article in "The Nation." The war was sold on the nightly news.

Syzy, you still haven't said what facts, if any, were incorrect. I'm putting forward a legit question. It's not that inconceivable that Bush could lose his party's nomination to a strong Republican (i.e.McCain) if the economy continues to crumble. There is only so much that can be blamed on 9/11.

You do know that this deficit is not even close to a record deficit based on % of GDP?

The dollar amount may be a deficit, but that's subjective to the  current value of the dollar .

By contrast, look at California's deficit..... higher than all states combined. 33 billiion or so??

The media has been pretty nice to the military, they haven't revealed that the soldiers call the Iraqis 'hajis', yet.

i thought they called them "ali baba"

anyway, imus is a jerk, if it wasn't for his call-ins he would have no show. and they have to call in or imus will bad mouth them with extreme bitterness. imus :" that jerk would not come on my show? , well that jerk will never come on my show, i will never have that jerk on my show, etc etc etc "
