Too late.
Bush's disastrous intervention in Middle East has thrown USA in a difficult international situation from which the next presidents will have a hard time to get out... with hard consequences to American economy!
Those who answered that economy improved in USA probably work in jobs related to the gun industry... They should watch CNN a bit to get a larger picture of American economy.

I've always thought we needed a new president--not so much because of the economy, although he's run that into the ground and created a huge deficit: remember there was a surplus when he took office. The war, his trampling on the First Amendment, his callous lack of caring about just about anyone who doesn't own an oil company--I'll be glad to see him go.
I'm glad some people are doing better. My husband's business went under, the business my sister works for failed, the guy across the street was laid off by UPS after 15 years. Some swell economy.
Some of you are watching way too much Fox News. The deficit is a fact. The layoffs and outsourcintg are facts.

Since September 11 2001, the economy hasn't suffered a single down quarter. In fact, it has notched 23 straight quarters of economic growth…Overall, the American economy is, adjusting for inflation, $1.65 trillion bigger than it was six years ago. To put that gigantic number in some perspective, the U.S. economy has added the equivalent of five Saudi Arabias, eight Irans, 13 Pakistans, or 15 Egypts, depending on your preference. And while 9/11 did cause the stock market to plunge, the Dow is 37 percent higher than it was on Sept. 10, 2001, creating trillions of dollars of new wealth for Americans. What's more, the unemployment rate is 4.6 percent today vs. 5.7 percent back then. Not bad at all.”

Maybe- depending on who gets elected. Repairing the economy as well as repairing our standing with the rest of the globe is going to require a fairly radical change in leadership. What we've been doing for the past 8 years is clearly not ideal for the US or anyone else in the world for that matter. Not just our president but our whole system of government could really use a intuitive tune-up.
Sadly, I'm not sure any of the current candidates are motivated for the right reasons or passionate enough for such a dramatic reform.

Bush did a fair job in repairing the damage Clinton did to the economy. Sadly most of that damage seems to be beyond repair..
Bush has not done any damage to our economy, but I certainly hope it improves during the next president's term(s).. regardless if we have a Republican in office or if we're cursed with a Democrat.

Do you live in America? The economy is booming. Even dems admit this. I'll give you an example: Have you heard any of the leaders of the dem party complaining about the economy lately. Google it. Of course not because that's a winning issue for our great President that he gets no credit for....

With Hillary/ Obama team in office, the economy could improve as there will be no wars.
