Certain things, like the economy, have a certain momentum that a change in administration cannot reverse. While Obama certainly seems to be doing everything he can to make things worse, I have a hard time believing that Bush would be doing any better, given his 8 year track record. So, no, I don't miss him, even though I'm rather displeased with his replacement.

Very well put.
ONE OF THE WORST????? He was the absolute worst, period. During his term in office our country was attacked on OUR soil, He half-@**ed attatcked our attackers but invaded an entirely different country, he increased taxes on the poor and middle class while bringing the taxes on the rich down to almost nothing, he deregulated businesses, and sent our country spiralling into economic turmoil. A turmoil that without Obamas initiatives (according to ALL top economists, left wing and right wing)would be much worse.

The only reason to miss him would be the comic relief of his idiocy.
and before you say I'm not old enough to remember, yes Bill, I am old enough to remember long before Bush Sr. I definitely remember Reagonomics. The Shoals area had the second highest unemployment rate in the state at just over 33%. My favorite (haha) memory is seeing an ad in the paper for a fry cook at Jacks in Sheffield and standing in line for 6 hours waiting to fill out an application and getting turned down because I was a college graduate.
tcf531- that was one of the best posts I've ever seen written! I've NEVER been a fan of Reagan or Reagan-economics because like you, I couldn't find a job either. I had plenty of education, was laughed at because I had a degree, my sex and my race. My fathers company was closed down because of the air traffic controllers bust-up by Reagan, and it hurt this are enormously!
Reagan-economics was not good for this area for this area, in my opinion.
