Been 6 years now. If your answer is 'yes' then in what year will it no longer be Bush's fault?

Imo, three years is sufficient before claiming the economy as your own.
Potus chose the wrong medicine and made it worse.

Everything is Bush's fault. He's the single dumbest greatest puppet master of all time, still giving our poor do gooder of a leader trouble at every turn.

First 2 years it was still Bush's fault....last four years Mother Nature is to blame.
Posted on 8/27/14 at 11:38 am to Zach
Yes. It will no longer be Bush's fault when and only when there is another republican former president to blame it on.

Depends, are the democrats still trying to claim the economy is in recovery?

It's a lot of peoples fault.

No, Bush does not get credit for the economy doing well and having recovered.
And Obama does not get the blame for stagnant wages. That is generally well beyond the influence of a POTUS and their policies, although Obama has done all he can to try to address it and make it a talking point (increasing wealth/income gap, etc). His policies and ideology show he wants to do something about it and has tried to an extent, but it isn't going to change significantly any time soon.

We're coming up to 7 years pretty soon.

Eventually, the shite will hit the fan and there will be a crash that makes the last one look small-time.

the president has very little control over the economy in the immediate term.
The bad economy wasn't the fault of bush in 2008, and isn't the fault of obama in 2012. It was too proximate to their terms.
The housing implosion was due to banking deregulation done in the 90s, the fed's actions and congress ignoring the festering mess than was FNM/FRE

Biggest problem is the debt/deficit and the GOP tax cutting policy would have made it MUCH MUCH worse if Romney had been elected. He was GWB stupid on steroids when it came to his tax policies in the current debt/deficit environment.

the economy is way better now. But all we did is push the debt issue from the banks to the gov't. our rate of debt growth needs to be addressed. I don't see congress doing anything about it.

Is there some other industry (banking, etc) issue that would cause a sudden impact that administration isn't addressing?

The official Dem line is: "The economy is better due to our policies. But the extreme depths to which our economy sunk under a previous administration is hard to fix. And all of our policies that would have restored us to a booming recovery have been stopped by the Republican Congress.

The day a republican is elected, it will be his fault.

Yet this POTUS (if he even deserves that title) increased the debt to $17 trillion. Makes perfect sense.
