Needlessly snide:
> Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity Is Finally Over” was the headline in the Onion the month George W. Bush took office, January, 2001. His Administration took care of that in a hurry.
One might remember that it was Al Qaeda, not Bush's administration, which attacked the United States, and that Osama bin Laden declared war on the U.S. back during the Clinton years, in 1996.

To assert that the Bush administration is to blame for the credit crisis is laughable, assuming that's what the author meant by the end of prosperity. It was decades of poor economic policy that reached a critical point. I don't particularly love Bush, but jokes about him are cliché
