You mean do I blame Bush 8 years later? Really? Look, from what I remember Bush screwed up big time in about the last 3-4 months of his presidency. He made some decisions that I don't agree with but saying it has effected the entire 2 terms of Obama's presidency isn't even close to being fair. Besides, I don't have my investments solely in stocks.
I do blame the drop at that time on much of him and his policies. (He wasn't alone, but he was "the buck where it stopped")
It was a lot more than 3-4 months. It's funny how people say that, but really, I saw it in 2002, didn't you?
Going into Iraq which was completely wrong, and all people who voted for it should have been shown the door. I knew it in 2002. Just like I knew the way the housing market was a bubble that had to pop was going to happen.
I mean, these are just things that I think a lot of people must have seen had they chose to look.
Bush started screwing up early and it just so happened to not show itself until late 2008.
That's all.
