Not a lot of gloating by Democrats over Bush's sinking economy

I do have to give a lot of Democrats credit for not publicly gloating about the current economic turmoil being the result of President Bush's "failed" economic policies. Sure, Nancy Pelosi was unable to refrain from gloating this afternoon and really sticking it to Bush and the Republicans, but there were a lot of Democrates, moderates and centrists who took a much more productive and responsible public attitude. Besides, Nancy has done precious little to support the economy over the past two years of her "reign" as Speaker of the House. The word "leadership", let alone "bipartisan leadership" does not come to mind in her case, while it does seem quite appropriate for the efforts of Barney Frank.
