If you are going to play that card then, maybe you should also admit as should the Labour Party and Gordon himself that it was a global boom during the period Labour were in office. I myself dont blame them for the international crisis - boom and bust is a fundemental part of capitalism and is good in the long term for every economy. I do however not stand by the idea that Labour were not in it and were innocent, it was Labour who removed regulation powers from the Bank of England and handed it to the pencil pushers at the FSA.
I will also not accept that praise by Obama is a good thing at all - yes Obama, the man who pledged to get US national debt down yet its now spinning more so out of control than it was doing so before. A government cannot sustain growth as the left likes to think, anything funded by the government is false growth and does not create wealth. The private sector is still shrinking and the public sector growing, we are still in reality, in recession.
I thought Saint Gordon abolished bust anyway? :P (his own words not mine)
