When George W. Bush was president and people talked about the softening economy, you could always count on Glenn Reynolds to put up some inane tale about how he went to a mall and there were tons of people there so any economic slowdown was clearly a myth. Now there’s a Democratic president, and so things have to change. Palm Beach is now a dystopia out of Mad Max, all because America elected the wrong party to the White House, in Instapundit’s brain at least.
Only white presidents are allowed to take credit for an improving economy.
I don’t think it’s a racial thing with the Instapundit’s of the world, Jaim. I think it’s more along the lines of “Only Republican presidents are allowed to take credit for an improving economy.”
Kinda like how Oliver Willis kept telling us the world was going to end when unemployment jumped above 5%, but now that it’s 9.4%, happy days are here again.
teh things, how tehy do change …
