so wait--the economic crash was triggered by phenomena that became pure expressions of conservative economic thinking, "regulated" by folk who had puffed the same pipe as greenspan....the real estate bubble, the derivatives trade, the decision to do nothing--at all--to generate transparency about either the devices or the market or the values----because growth is a steady state....that combined with two illegitimate wars that exist in some accounting alternate reality....not to mention the grotesque amounts of money plowed into "security" and other elements of the new secret america---all that *caused* the near-implosion of the entire global capitalist arrangement and triggered a recession that we're *still* in the middle of...and the right---which is responsible for almost all of this mess---would have us believe that "it is time to stop blaming bush"---whose administration was a Debacle
now why would they say that?
well in part because the only race the conservatives are running harder than the one that's against everything obama says or does is the one that sees them running away from their own record.
because if they have to answer for their own record, they haven't a prayer.
