Bush inherited the dot com bubble. The Dow and NASDAQ were loaded with way overvalued companies. Companies valued at billions upon billions of dollars when they hadn't yet made a buck, aren't cash flow positive and have no idea when they will be.
Is 9/11 Bush's fault somehow? Seems same group attacked the WTC in 1993, Clinton's watch. He also opted to NOT grab Bin Laden in 1998 when he had the opportunity. Remember the USS Cole was on his watch as well. The U.S. was under attack by Al Qaeda BEFORE Bush came to power.
And then there's the mortgage crisis, again, please try to keep up. The problem here is subprime mortgages and a housing price bubble. That started in the 90's as well. And it was the Democrats who repeatedly shot down reform while Bush was in the White House.
Again, I'm not a fan, I think both parties suck. I'm a Libertarian if anything. But I hate to see ignorance propogate.

Clinton inherited a trillon dollar debt. And balanced the budget within 8 years. Bush inherited a balanced budget and ...
I could do a dozen of those right back at ya, HP. My point is you're good at saying the bad things Bush inherited, but you're a) not mentioning the gold he got and turned to shit or b) the shit he got that he turned into megafuckingshit. So don't play ignorant yourself now.
Plus, Afganistan was retalitory for 9-11. Iraq was finishing up the clusterfuck Daddy Bush didn't end and making it into a bigger clusterfuck. And that was his only reason for that war; if you really believe it was for 9-11, then you're smoking something.
