The president gets way to much credit and/or blame for the economy depending on how its doing. The senate and the fed have a lot more to do with it then the pres does. Also the economy naturally cycles. It cant always be in a boom. It cant always be in a bust. The economy is in neither right now. It was in a little bit of an artificial boon during the clinton years due to the .coms but that bubble had to burst sometime no matter who was president. Bush has done fine economically though i wish he would lower federal spending. He has been very very solid as a president.
