How quickly you forget what happened in the last quarter of GWB's presidency. A drop of 8.3% in the GDP. Combine that the climbing unemployment rate and failing real estate values which lead to greatest destruction of wealth since the depression. GWB had been in power for almost 8 years so he was as responsible as any president for what happened. Against that backdrop, the slow but steady growth of 2-3% a year looks pretty good. It taken a long time but we getting back to unemployment levels of before the crash. We would be doing even better, if Obama was not hampered by the republican controlled house. If you look at the numbers, you can see exactly when the GOP took control of the house. The growth numbers show small, but markedly decline in the rate of growth since they took over. Far from being the worst president in history, he is closer to the best for leading the country out of the abyss of the GWB presidency.
