Has anyone ever tried to figure out why those last two years were so bad? If so have you noticed that the Democrats controlled Congress during both of them and the House two year earlier than that? Is there a chance that too many of the troubles of that period had something to do with the Democrats being in control with Bush forced to be a lame duck. I got to wondering today about this and here is a good explanation.

Why? Because he got us in two unwinnable wars and then had to completely ignore all domestic issues.

A trillion dollars and counting, 4000 dead, 100,000 Iraqis, all so that Iran can take over the region.

And you call that "winning". Pathetic.

The original post is a fallacy. Most of the entire 8 years was a failure not just the last two. The last 2 were just the worst of a bad time. Ironically, some of those making the most noise and throwing the most stones at Bush2, ALSO bear part of the blame for the banking mess along side Bush2.

The really sad things is, as bad as he did he would still likely beat Gore and Kerry today.

Yeah you got to thinking about that and magically found something that matched your opinion. Sorry, but your nose is growing there.

Perhaps you should rephrase it to you were wandering around the biased, pathetic, one sided quasi journalistic blogs written by guys who live in their parent's basement. You then came across this, like to you do other various poorly written articles, that appealed to your emotions and felt the need to share it with the forum as you can't come up with your own ideas and in real life nobody wants to hear from you.

Bush's last two years were bad as the bubble was building, the economy was overstimulated and nobody in the White House wanted to do anything about it. The Democrats in Congress were perfectly contained as they couldn't really pass much of anything without getting past a Presidential veto.

Bush's last two years sucked because in the first 6, Republicans had full control of the House, Senate and White House and did pretty much nothing of any worth. They could have balanced the budget, stayed out of Iraq, not focused the majority of their time on social issues, regulated the sub-prime mortgage market, regulated mortgage backed securities, etc. They didn't do any of that. They cared more about Janet Jackson's tit than they did balancing the budget.

Democratic Congresses and presidents more often coincide with high economy scores than do Republican Congresses and presidents.
