only the stupid and politically suicidal ones. predicting an eternal recession is a loser of an argument, and rooting for economic ruin is unamerican. the economy will come out of this one way or another, and irrespective of who is in the white house. that isn't the question. the question, at least with this administration, is "how will the essential relationship between the government and the governed have changed?"
i just don't think that recessions are a big deal. their cause has been understood since adam smith, and it's simply moronic and dishonest to attempt to blame them on the last guy that happened to occupy the white house.
On that note, you could say that after 20+ years of Reagan conservative principles that people are moving ideologically back to the democratic side of the aisle. Maybe, but then maybe not, I don't think we'll know for a few years. The US has gone through waves between the two.
And yes I do agree, it was just as stupid to put all the blame for the recession on Bush but at the same time stupid to give all the praise to Clinton during his term. I'm intelligent enough to realize that the president can only control the economy so much, but fiscal and monetary policies can and do have an effect on them.
