2006 marked the peak of the housing market, record setting household debt, a record trade deficit and declining GDP throughout the year. The stage was set for falling housing prices in 2007 and the start of the great recession.
Not quite the "thriving, robust, economy" as you assert.

We don't live in a dictatorship. The legislative branch sets the legislative agenda. The Democrats controlled the legislature from 2006 until 2010. Look where the stock market, and unemployment, were when the Democrats took control in 2006.
The Democrats controlled the white house, the house of reps, and the Senate from 2008-2010. Did things get better, or worse, during that time?
Try making that wrong.
