, 01:49, September 11, 2009Bush as campaigner
:::::Well the text follows Alan Greenspan, who says "the economy was recovering, just not in time to save the election." (''Age of Turbulence'' p 122) The Bush's poor speeches and his sad advertising campaign should have been hollering success, but instead ignored the economy. 21:26, 10 September 2009 (EDT)

::::::Point is, in the pre-Windows 95 Internet age, all the information ''was'' available, only the mainstream sources that people depend on not only ''did not'' report it, they did report Clinton's assertions such "worst economy in 50 years" etc. without challenging it. Today there's things like Fact Check, etc., in those days it was pure unadulterated media bias. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 21:44, 10 September 2009 (EDT)

:::::::I agree, but Bush had a huge $$$$ campaign fund and it was his job to defend himself and get the facts out on tens of thousands of TV commercials and hundreds of speeches. he failed to do so why Clinton and perot hammered away. Poor Bush got 38% of the vote, following three landslides.[[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 21:49, 10 September 2009 (EDT)
