Bush is Mr Obvious on the economy

Well, putting aside the ridiculous lie that he was out in front of this problem, he seems to appreciate that we're in a mess.

Trying to calm jitters about the economy, President Bush conceded on Friday that the country "obviously is going through a tough time" but expressed confidence about a rebound.

I'm confident we will recover as well. It's going to be long after Bush is gone but sure, we will get through it as long as we wake up to the need to provide responsible regulation instead of ignoring crazy Wall Street ideas that lead to $200 billion bailouts. Just say "no" to Republican economics. We can't afford another GOP administration.
