We've been over this before. Bush inherited a recession from Clinton (that reached its definition third consecutive quarter of growth almost the day W. Bush was inaugurated.)
And the recession that occurred in the last year of Bush's presidency was not exclusively his fault, both parties could have done more to prevent it. Caused bu millions of foreclosed homes, and the bank losses speread into mortgage backed securities. And if blame were to be limited to one party, it is the Democrats who were primarily to blame, who obstructed any attempt to reign in unqualified mortgage loans as "racist" and "hating the poor".
