Yes, it started under a Republican President and was caused by the policies of the Democrat party, most especially Slick Willie with the CRA that forced banks to lend to people who should never have gotten loans.  Had this distortion of the free markets by ill-advised govt intervention not occurred, it would have been a normal, run of the mill recession.  Thanks for the opportunity to explain this to you Goofy.
