Dubya left the economy in shambles for Obama, and his dad didn't leave such a great economy for Clinton. It's the Republican way and represents the current vicious cycle we've been in since Clinton. GOP President screws up the economy, Democrat gets elected POTUS and after several years fixes the GOP's mess, then voters develop mass amnesia and elect a GOP president who screws everything up again, voters elect Democratic POTUS who once again fixes the mess, then voters elect another Republican who messes it up, and on and on apparently.

This time they are screwing it up early rather than right at the tail end of their term.

That may make a difference in public perception.

Note: Dot com happened early in Bush 2 but I think it was far different - Bush policies had nothing to do with it, the fallout was limited to stock markets and the tech sector, and 9/11 changed the narrative.

It was the disaster in the ME, not dot com that put us in bad shape going into Obama's presidency.

I wasn’t saying that dot com had any impact on Obama’s presidency. That was the Great Recession which Obama inherited.

I was just saying that this time it is different because Republicans are screwing it up early. After saying that I had to address dot com.

One thing I failed to mention was dot com was no longer an issue by 2004.

I suspect we will be in a deep mess long before 2028 and it will not be cleaned up before 2028.
