It's the economy, stupid!

I know we've seen this before. Back when Reagan was in office, there were corporate accounting scandals, (the Savings & Loan stuff). After the excesses of the 80's, Bush the first had to deal with a recession. And here were are now, 20 years later, with the son of Bush. He outdoes Reagan's spending and our deficits. We have more corporate accounting scandals than we can keep track of. Now our economy is tanking and we're heading for another recession. Nobody wants to say it, but it seems obvious to me.

The next President, unlike Bush, will inherit a disastrous economy. Bush has ruined this country like he ruined the many corporations he tried to run previously. But this failing economy will fall square on the shoulders of the next elected President. For it will be his/her duty to fix the broken economy. And when that President is unable to do so fast enough, their legacy will be their failure.

So they are tied to Bush. Their sole job is to fix what Bush has done. Get us out of Iraq. Make some peace in the Middle East and bring us back from the brink of WWIII. Fix our ailing economy. Fix our standing in the world. That is their legacy..

Who's up for it?
