Wow! He's right! It's a good thing we had Bush around to make those tax cuts, or the war would have screwed our economy over!

Hey, wait a minute....
-----------------Are people really that dumb?----------------------
Bush probably isn't to blame for the recession, economies do that. And if he wanted to say that his tax cuts stabalized the economy after recession, i wouldn't believe it was true, but i would admit that it was good PR.
However, saying your tax cuts helped stabalize the economy after recession, corporate scandal (which your Vice President was implicated in) and a war (which you started and have been implicated in misleading/lying to get public support for) doesn't seem like such good PR.
But i guess most people are just dumb. Or don't pay any attention the what the president actually says. Or both.
