The George W. Bush Administration has been playing the blame game since day 1. Its all been about politicking and pointing the finger (and sometimes the gun) at everyone else. Even Karl Rove said the Bush Administration maintained a "Constant Campaign". The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) announced today that their research indicates that the current economic recession actually began in December of 2007.
Given that the recession began seven years into "Dubya's" stewardship of our economy, its pretty hard to blame any other leadership for this one. Suddenly, White House Press Secretary Tony Fratto is sounding like Chris Tucker in the Movie "Friday" with the political equivalent of "Why you gotta bring up old shit? We're in this together, dog."
"What's important is what is being done about it," Fratto said. "The most important things we can do for the economy right now are to return the financial and credit markets to normal, and to continue to make progress in housing, and that's where we'll continue to focus."
