Look, we can try to re-write history or you can just REMEMBER how well you, your friends, and family were doing compared to today.

Bush & Cheney took a strong, healthy country from Bill Clinton and after 8 years left us FUBAR. We lived it. Seems like you're the one trying to rewrite history.

IT was a time of low inflation ? the lowest overall rate for any president since John F. Kennedy.
Other than that, the economic record of President George W. Bush was largely a disappointing one. During his administration, the country grew at the slowest overall pace of any recent president, whether measured in gross domestic product or employment. The last president to preside while the stock market did worse was Herbert Hoover.

Why wasn't Bush at the RNC if things were going so well then compared to today?
