The reason he could not provide a specific example is because Bush did absolutely nothing to cause the recession.  it was most likely a cyclical slowdown that was made much, much worse by the long-term distortion of the housing markets caused by Fannie/Freddie/CRA. Plenty of book sand articles that documented this fact but i doubt he or the other left wing nuts actually read them.  For years the GOP trued to rein in these out of control programs only to be called racists, etc. by Dems in the House and Senate.  Even the blame placed on the banks was misdirected given the coercion of the CRA forcing them to make loans to people who were one paycheck away from default.

The closest he could probably come is the expansion of the prescription drug program but that was paid by deficit spending and the money went to drug companies anyway.  The majpr adverse imapct of that program is the amount of money wasted by the federal government in administering it, but that is moot when it is paid with borrowed money.  i was actually hoping he could come up with something so i could provide a litany of specific actions and programs by dear leader that caused this recovery to be so pathetic.  Heck, even Bernie Sanders is saying real unemployment is over 10%.  That it takes a socialist to speak the truth is about as ironic as it gets and a testament to the idiocy of the mdoern Democrat party.
