And so the super serious and very patriotic Kent at Right From Left once again states that George Bush cannot be blamed for any failures during his 8 years. In doing so, Kent manages to invoke both the Fantasy World Law and the Regretted History Law, a feat never accomplished before.

So says Kent:

Again Chris, you're coming at the argument from the wrong side.

If someone did the best that anyone has ever done in a particular area, like Bush with record highs on the Dow, than he cannot logically or reasonably be criticized for losses.

You have a pathological hatred of President Bush and all it does is make you sound rather childish.

George Bush is the greatest...Fantasy World Law. Me bringing up George Bush in a conversation and focusing on the Dow's 43% loss during his presidency....Regretted History Law. Remember we are never to mention George Bush unless it coincides with the Fantasy World Law which states George Bush is the greatest president ever. If we don't follow that Law then we are obviously full of hatred and only bashing Bush.

Never mind, though, that the Dow tripled under Bill Clinton. And never mind that the record highs Kent mentions lasted a whopping one day, and has fallen steadily since then.

In Kent's world George Bush can't logically or reasonably be blamed for failures. Time has miraculously stood still ever since the Dow hit 13,930 and it hasn't budged since then. It would be one thing to say that Obama inherited a Dow at its highest levels ever and since taking office has only allowed it to get worse. But the Dow had been tumbling since Oct. 2007, well over a year before he took office. He inherited a Dow in free fall; a Dow that lost 43% of its value under George W. Bush. None of that ever happened in Kent's world. To him Obama inherited a Dow at its highest levels ever, which is absolutely just not the case.
