The perception that the Stock Market was already crashing when Bush was still President is due to the fact that the Conservatives were beginning to suspect that the country was going to vote for a Democrat, due to the shift in policy on the Liberation of Iraq.
The Conservatives started slowly to sell their shares in the Stock Market so as not to create a panic and end up losing their principal holdings. When it became obvious that Obama was going to win, by then all the Conservatives had sold their shares and the Liberals ended up holding the bag when the Stock Market finally crashed in Bush’s last days in the White House. That’s why the liberals are still screaming that the economy was crashing while Bush was still President and that it was due to his policies, which is not at all the case. We don’t hear any Conservatives complaining that they lost money in the Stock Market.
George W. Bush’s great contribution as President remains that he didn’t let the Haters of America have the last laugh during his presidency; he kept the pressure on them and he fought the Terrorists everywhere to the last day of his presidency. Now let them give Obama all the Nobel Peace Prizes, it won’t bring back the millions of dollars lost by Norway’s Pension Plans (ironically the Lehman Brothers weren’t bailed out by the Democratic Congress) and the trillions of dollars lost by the Liberal crooks who violated the freedoms of the American free enterprise system.
