@Picko I think we should keep it as we have no idea if MS did play the economy right, you're from Australia so you wouldn't understand.
The economy did shock a lot of people, however as Cueil said yes in NA people were expecting a recession. However we had no idea how big it was going to be. Check this link http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-02-28-bush_N.htm from Febuary 2008 well before E-Day (when we figured out how much shit we were in) If a president says we're not in a recession chances are he's lying or else why would he bring up the word recession in the first place?
