It wasn't in full out free fall, the unemployment rate wasn't plunging like a rock nor were banks failing at record amounts. While they were starting to collapse in the last quarter the data below down't corroborate that it was in free fall. I don't thin that it is directly attributable to GWB. I don't pin this on Obama either. I've just stated that the economy isn't better, people keep lying to themselves for whatever reasons.
