Comments on: Presidents and the Economy http://poliblogger.com/?p=5075 A rough draft of my thoughts...

Same goes for Bush 41. He just let the business cycle do its thing and let the Dems run all over him for his hands-off policy. The truth is, most voters like to hear that the guy at the top is doing some twiddling every now and then. Personally, I think that the President's policies concerning taxes and regulation are very important. More important than deficits. It would be nice if people understood where Alan Greenspan and the "Feds" fit into all of this. Hoover was a one-termer because he didn’t even pretend to think that he could affect the economy.
