Speaking at Georgetown University on April 14th, Barack Hussein Obama promised:
“We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand. We must build our house upon a rock. We must lay a new foundation for growth and prosperity — a foundation that will move us from an era of borrow and [...]

Not that he set out to do it, but Mr. Wright has brilliantly explained (HT A Traditional Life Lived):

Before we forgive and forget the Bush administration for its sorry record, consider Daniel Gross' essay in Slate.com tracing how the stagnant economy during the Bush years produced the mess we confront today.
Gross doesn't blame the Bushies for what he calls America's "Lost Decade," 2000-2009, and certainly Democrats (in Congress, and lately in [...]
