Bush will point to one of these, but not both ...

Recently, W was on Wall Street, a little ticked that he didn’t get enough credit for the economy.

The stock market is at record highs. In a government that has enacted economic policies that are far more pro-corporate than pro-worker, that is hardly a surprise. Corporations have been able to screw with employees without fear that Washington will come down on them. The corporate elite of this country are W’s base.

So, he can have credit for that all he wants. There is just one condition, Mr. President. You have to take credit for the fact that according to your own Commerce Department individual personal savings are at a record low since the Great Depression and that Americans are falling farther and farther behind economically as a result of the same policies that have helped corporations, since so much of that corporate success has come from hosing the rest of us.

Willing to take credit for that Mr. President?

Didn’t think so.
