So we have to credit George Bush with both wrecking our economy and saving the US Auto Industry?

Quit telling the truth Rabw.

"I haven't met with President George W. Bush. We speak from time to time," Romney replied when asked if he had sought the younger Bush's endorsement.

Reporters were forced out of the room before they could ask more questions about Romney's connection to the Republican president who left office three years ago with the nation on the brink of financial ruin.

Taking office in 2001 with a balanced federal budget and a surplus in the Treasury, Bush quickly pushed through sweeping tax cuts without nipping expenditures a corresponding amount. The tax cuts were to expire after 10 years, but Obama allowed them to remain temporarily in exchange for an extension of unemployment benefits and a payroll tax cut.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan launched after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks never were budgeted and have cost taxpayers more than $1.4 trillion. Obama ordered the last troops out of Iraq in December, but the Afghanistan conflict is set to continue through 2014.

Bush also signed legislation in 2003 enacting a prescription drug benefit as part of Medicare, the government health care plan for seniors. The benefit is projected to cost as much as $1.2 trillion over 10 years.

Another Bush-era package was the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the $700 billion bailout for the financial industry authorized by Congress in the fall of 2008 and loathed by many conservatives. Romney supported the bailout, as did then-presidential candidates Obama and McCain.

Republican George Bush left America in the dumpster and walked away in shame with his millions. Why would America put another big spending Republican who doesn't pay taxes into the White House?

Its called Republican greed.
