When Clinton first got elected and had a Democrat congress things went to crap bad enough that the Republicans took control in a major swing of power that was unprecedented. The Republicans drug Clinton kicking and screaming as they cut the size of government in 95 which is what led to the balanced budgets Clinton gets credit for. Track the stock market during the 90's and watch when it took off.
Except for about a year the Republicans have controlled the house and senate under Bush until January of 07. While the Republicans did spent too much the Economy was expanding so things weren't bad at the time. The Republicans didn't lose control because the economy was doing bad, it was because some Republicans got greedy and were exposed and because the war was going bad at the time. All the economic factors looked good until about half way through 07. Since that time what great initiative have the Democrats come up with to solve the economic slide that started after they gained control?
In all the time during Bushes term when the economy was rebounding from the Clinton recession, the 9-11 attacks and corporate scandals and led to record low unemployment the dems and their media allies only wanted to talk about the war. Now that the war is going well and the economy is on a downturn all they want to talk about is how bad the economy is and exaggerate that.
