I agreed with some of what you said, and ignored a lot of it, but I can't let this one go.

The problems with our economy started largely with the collapse of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac. If you think Bush and/or Cheney were responsible for that, you've missed a few important pieces of history, like the fact that Republicans in congress tried for several years to push reforms to those organizations, because their imminent collapse was clear to see, and they were stopped by House Democrats at every turn.

"Presidents are just like baseball pitchers. They get too much credit when things go right, and too much blame when things go wrong."

Also, regardless of which party is doing what, I'd rather see NOTHING done about the economy than see this idiotic bailout dump trillions of dollars into companies which will continue to waste it.
