I have had a theory for a while now that I will find out the truth about in the next month or so. I feel that the media hates Bush so much they are purposely hammering away on how bad the economy is just to make him look bad and drive down his approval ratings. I'm not Bush supporter. I think the republicans are heavily to blame for much of the problems we are seeing now. I'm not say this wouldn't have happened with the democrats in power, but it was the republicans in power and when the team does bad it is the coach that takes the blame.
Bush has been very standoffish with the press and he has had a pretty rough relationship with them. They don't like him and I think they like to see him in trouble. Black Friday sales were up, but all they could talk about is that people were only buying cheaper on sale stuff that had a lower profit margins. Other good indicators are starting to come forward, but they mention those briefly then go back to doom and gloom. The media is loving the misery and they are loving dumping it right in Bush's lap.
I think once Bush is gone and Obama takes office the talk will change. My theory is that they will still talk about the bad stuff, but the slant will dramatically change to a very Obama friendly version where they spend most of their time talking about what he is doing to fix the problems that Bush left us with and how things are moving forward.
I guess in about a month we will see if I am correct.
