Bush was still in office at that time too!
What is weird is that people who dont make a lot of money, lets say below $50,000 per year, are not even affected by the stock market crash very much.
It isnt like someone making less than $50,000 a year has funds in the stock market. Gas cost a lot less now for that person who makes $15,000 a year. Imagine the % that they are saving due to this fact. The savings doesnt matter too much to guys around here, but I would think that to the low income earners, it makes a big difference
