Sounds to me like a serious case of projections. That was a perfect description of how you worshiped (and still do) your Messiah Dubya. You remember him? The guy on a mission from God? A man so inept he made Harding look good! The guy you walked in lock step with fuck up after fuck up, disaster after disaster all the time you worshiping at his feet! LOL
Considering your irratinal worship of a man so inept what makes you think you have any credibility with us about who is or who is not competent? You, Dixie and Krauthamer have been wrong more times then a red neck in 12th grade algebra class. LOL

Sounds to me that you are the one projecting. I have been very critical of Bush, as well as most of the Republicans, many, many times. He (and they) were hardly true conservatives on economic issues.
And, I've given the Democrats and The Obama kudos for going far-left when they had the chance with the Presidency and both houses of Congress. They shoved their liberal agenda up America's ass when they had the chance. It fucked things up really bad, and as I predicted they got shellacked for it in 2010, but at least they showed balls.
I wish the Republicans had done that when they had the chance and the opportunity, pushed through a truly conservative agenda. But most of them don't have the true faith in conservatism like you Democrats have in liberalism.

Leave it to TopFag to focus on that. 
Wrong answer!
The correct answer is: most leading economic indicators are trending up.
You shouldn't engage in a discussion about the economy if you haven't been following it.

"Trending"? LOL. The real unemployment rate is close to 20%. There haven't been this many folks without jobs since the Depression. Housing still hasn't found bottom. Gold and silver are at record highs because of the weakness of the dollar. Commodity prices are high, again because of the weakness of the dollar. Corporate profits are down, except of course for the precious metal mining industry (at 47%!!), and anything related to the growth of government and regulation.

The indicators are actually beginning to decline again. Up until this recent release, you would have been correct. But the anemic growth is starting to turn south.
As for the markets... a close below 12350 would not be good for the Dow. For the S&P a close under 1290 would likewise be bad.
This is a bit overplayed. Between any consecutive administrations, there will be policies that HAVE to remain relatively consistent, regardless - especially military policies, which are fairly non-ideological once a conflict is underway.
Bush was inept for invading Iraq; he was inept for disbanding the Iraqi army; he was inept for his handling of Katrina, and for delegating to cronies in general. He was inept for basically ignoring domestic policy, and for presiding over an admin who thought that deficit spending didn't matter.

1) EVERY President since Ike has gone about the 'deficit spending doesn't matter' path. Clinton gets credit for trying not to outspend revenue, but he too failed in this regard.
2) The BULK of the deficit spending under Bush came under a DEM led Congress
3) Obama and the Dem led Congress have made the Bush deficits look trivial by comparison... hence Obama continuing the same economic folly as Bush
4) Bush began the bailouts, Obama continued them... were some necessary, yes.... but they account for a large chunk of the Bush deficits in 2008 and the Bush/Obama deficit of 2009.
5) Obama began an unnecessary endeavor in Libya, not by any means the scale of Iraq, but similar overall philosophy
6) Bush hosed up Katrina (along with local gov), Obama has done what for the tornado striken people of Alabama? the deliberate flooding of 100k acres in Misery? What will he do for the people of Joplin?
7) Bush gave us the atrocious pill bill, Obama continued down the same path and provided the monstrosity of Obama care
8) GITMO under Bush.... same under Obama in all manners..... except for the constant protesting/bitching/moaning from the left leaning media
Tell us.... just what about Obama is different?

I was responding to his comments that INDICATORS were trending up. That is not currently the case. That said, you are correct to state that one month is just a blip and that GDP growth IS still positive.

GDP growth includes government spending and that's not real or sustainable.
