AMos:

It is very simple. You said it collapsed, Obama said it didn't.

Who is correct?

Now you want to modify your "collapse" with started and began.

I don't think anyone has said that Obama was not responsible for his administration, Bruce. However, even you will allow that starting with a record surplus, as Bush did, and no wars, is a LOT easier than starting with two wars, a collapsed economy, and the largest deficit in history.
