Thank you and I would agree. When it comes to the economy, Presidents get
far more credit/blame than they deserve. Now, if you could just get NOYB
to see the light.

Why are you turning my thread into a political post? I simply posted labor
statistics for the last 27 months, the last 18 months, and the last 10
months. There was no blame or credit assigned to any party or any person in
particular. That is, until *you* and Harry started with the
attack-Bush-and-the-Republicans garbage.

How funny. When the economic news is bad many partisans were sure to rush
in and blame Bush. Now that things have been looking positive for the past
couple of years their answer is:

"When it comes to the economy, Presidents get far more credit/blame than
they deserve."

Damned if you do and damned if you don't with some folks. ;-)

Thanks for posting the information NOYB.

Well, Jim, I have been consistent. If you recall, we have had this
conversation before.

Why not? You blame everything else on Bush.

I replied:

Nope, I've always thought Presidents are held more responsible for the
economy than is deserving. Presidents may be able to tweak the economy,
but controlling business cycles is a little out of their reach.
