The recent strategy from the White House has been to attempt to make the upcoming midterm election about a choice between the Democrats versus the Republicans' style of governing, and yesterday GOP spokesmen stepped up and made the case for the White House by looking back fondly on the George W. Bush years.

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) went on Meet the Press, and during a segment on the Bush presidency, said:

... we need to go back to the exact same agenda that is empowering the free enterprise system rather than diminish it.

... and Sen John Cornyn (R-TX) told the host of CSPAN's Newsmakers that:

Look, I think President Bush's stock is going up a lot since he left office…I think a lot of people are looking back with a little more — with more fondness on President Bush's administration, and I think history will treat him well.

Never mind that:

A recent Time poll found that 71 percent blame Bush for the "balky economy," versus 27 percent who blame President Obama. By a whopping 53-to-33 percent margin, Americans favor Obama over Bush.

So the GOP wants to run on the Bush years? Bring it on.
