Now Ed, stick with the issue.
"Bush inherited the strongest, most robust economy the world had ever seen."
Obviously, if that's wrong, there's another one out there stronger. Who, where?
And what would you be saying if I had written "When Bush took office the US didn't have the strongest, most robust economy on the face of the Earth"?
Back to basics. If not the US economy, whose?
To be honest with you, bottom line: if no one comes up with a name for a stronger, more robust economy it makes my point - that some people are such unthinking, knee-jerk reactionaries that they don't think. Just react.
