Fascinating.

Here's my lifetime...

'69-'70 - Nixon(R)

'73-'74 - Nixon(R)/Ford(R)

'80-'82 - Reagan(R)

'90-'92 - Daddy Bush(R)

'01-'03 - Baby Bush(R)

'07-present - Baby Bush(R)


There seems to be a trend here.

I think Carter(D) was president in 1980. Well, the R's ended those while they were still Recessions. Let's hope a D can end this one before it becomes a Depression. Fingers crossed.
