This statement is funny in that it says more about the person writing it as an actual predicate of fact than its actual truthfulness. Regardless of one's political view (pro or con Clinton or Bush), a statement like this this should immediately raise the BS flag for anyone who may be looking for an inciteful opinion from the contributer. That is of course is the problem with the discussion of politics these days, too many agendas in search of objective arguments to support predetermined opinions.

A recession is usually defined as three consecutive bad quarters, I think. At any rate, lag effects being what they are, Bush certainly inherited the recession. Again, that's not blaming Clinton--who didn't adopt any change that I'm aware of that screwed up the economy--just saying that it wasn't Bush's fault, either.

The recession began in the latter part of the Clinton administration.

Bush inherited a quarter of poor economic performance, but recessions are sustained periods of decline in an economy. According to the NBER the recession began in March 2001 and ended in Nov. 2001.

Recessions are determined ex post facto. At the time of Bush's elevation no recession could have been "inherited" since it hadnt happened yet.

The recession began in the latter part of the Clinton administration. Not, incidentally, because of anything Clinton did but the natural movement of the business cycle combined with the correction of the "irrational exuberance" over all things Internet. Bush coming to office wasn't going to magically fix that.

Presidents do all manner of things, including photo-ops at schools to press an educational reform agenda. Clinton did that sort of thing, too. The planning for the 9/11 attacks was well underway at the time Bush took office and al Qaeda had already run numerous successful attacks on American targets.

Bush inherited a post-bust economy and the 9/11 attacks

Bush didn't "inherit" either of these things. He was at the helm during the bulk of the recession and was reading My Pet Goat shortly after his month-long vacation when the terrorists attacked.

"And more importantly Clinton’s policies were approved by all Americans ...Bush, on the other hand, is not only a horrible person but none of his policies are good for the country."

Ladies and gentlemen, the Kool-Aid-drenched nuance of the Left. "Clinton all good, Bush all bad." Scary.

Here on the outside, the clear light of day shows us a moral landscape devastated by the dishonesty and incompetence of the last six years. From a country that fought torturers and battled with those who would deny others their basic human rights to a nation that revels in the brutalization of the untried and the destruction of a civilization that was no threat to the United States.

more importantly Clinton’s policies were approved by all Americans

all terrorist-Americans anyhow

Yeah. And the Hindenberg was a minor setback for airship aviation.

Dear lord. Do you really not get it? Do you ever want to get another independent vote for the Republican Party again?
