There are several ideas that Bush began that Obama implemented. I can not remember all of them, but only the one most talked about--stimulus. The stimulus package was a Bush baby, brought in as he was leaving the Whitehouse. Obama finished out the hatching of it, so as to try and jump start the dieing economy.
Yes TARP, Bush as I remember it, 'everyone should own a home', so as to strengthen the economy through home ownership. Fannie Mae and the like, took advantage of it. (imho) There needed to be an offset.
It was as if, there in the beginning of the Obama administration, that he was running with the Bush ideas in place for strengthening the economy. I also, think that is where the, 'it's Bush's fault,' came from, because Obama knew and some of us knew, he was not using original ideas of his own making.
My memory is horrid, so for me to be specific, is most difficult these days. Honestly there are days that I know I shouldn't even try to keep up, then a good day happens. Today, is not one of them.

That's ok, my memory is not always the best either I do agree with you that Obama did seem to follow Bush's lead on the economy.
Didn't I say this was going to happen back in 2008? Didn't I??
Bush was awesome... I don't care what the espresso heads think about him. He was a true humanitarian on every level. His genuine kindness and belief in promoting freedom worldwide are missed by many.
Obama's failing is making Bush look better. I think people had a low expecatation of Bush and so weren't overly disappointed with him. They had much higher expectations of Obama and have been greatly disappointed with him. Obama probably just gave the republicans another 8 or 12 years of the Whitehouse.
Let's not also forget that congress plays a key part in any administration's success. Things took a nosedive right after 2006, when democrats took charge of both the house AND the senate.
