If I hear him or any of his thugs mention this ONE more time, I think I am going to scream.

The truth is: The recession officially began in March of 2001 -- two months after Bush was sworn in -- according to the universally acknowledged arbiter of such things, the National Bureau of Economic Research.

No one ever mentions how the briliant Bill Clinton did indeed inherit a recession and didn't whine about it and blame Bush I. Instead, in 1993, he proposed a budget to stimulate the economy and create jobs and NOT one, repeat, NOT one repug voted for it. Gloom and doom was constantly reported by OxyRush etc.

The rest of the story is history.

Why don't these Dems fight back on this point? GRRRRR!
