If it happens, ...
Do you doubt that the Republicans will say that it's somehow Clinton's fault?
"The economy was going great until Bill Clinton blew up at Chris Wallace and spooked everyone. It's all his fault!"
Or,
"It's the Democrats fault for not voting for the permanent repeal of the Death Tax! Unless we cut taxes further, the economy will get weaker. We must reduced taxes now!"
Or, ...
You don't actually think that the Bush Administration would accept responsibility for a recession on their watch, do you?
Cheers,
Scott.
(Who has been surprised the economy has done as well has it has, considering the trade deficit, budget deficit, Katrina, oil price increases, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, etc., etc., etc.)
