I guess the Bush Boom is almost over

Bush had better talk about the good economic news fast, because it looks like the Fed may be thinking that it's peaking soon. Hope you enjoyed it.

The Federal Reserve is expected to hike interest rates another quarter point today. But after 18 months in which the Fed has been pushing rates higher to keep inflation under control, the central bank appears to be getting close to the end of its rate increase campaign.

And I know, the Fed was raising out in front because of oil prices and inflation fears, but even so, a peak in rates would be a significant statement on the economy.
