Let's remember that as Bush exited office and the economy tanked, certain DR posters here were at the peak of their "economics major" fart sniffing high.
Two in particular were so adamant in their economic "knowledge" that they insulted anyone who pointed out anything otherwise
You won't find either of them here today on this thread even though both routinely claim to know-it-all, all-the-time. They are busy being experts in something else, cause you know, "honest discussion" and all that

You just wait
Mark my words

The four stages of avoiding a problem (from Yes, Minister)
1. Say that there is no problem
2. Admit that there is a problem, but that it's not our responsibility to do something about it
3. Say that it is our responsibility but that there's no clear consensus on what action to take
4. Say that maybe we could have done something but it's too late now

#6 You described the Republican strategy on Global Warming perfectly!

What's really interesting is you'll find Republicans in each of the four stages. Right here on the Drudge Retort.

"Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY)'s real estate is a precious, scarce resource for retailers, gyms and anyone else who needs ample space. There's been little new retail development since the 2008 financial crisis and the rise of online shopping, and vacancy rates are at historic lows."

Yeah the article puts this on Bush too.
