Good point.  In fact, if you'll remember, when the economy was in REALLY
bad shape (i.e., worse than it is today), Reagan quite specifically and
vehemently denied that his administration's policies had anything to do
with the economic situation.  Of course, he's doing as any politician
would--if it's good, it's to his credit; if it's bad, it's not his fault.
