Yes and no.
It depends entirely on what they were criticizing.
If it was a general "it's bush's fault because the president controls everything" then it's hypocritical. It's also incorrect.
If it's (and I fall into this camp) "bush put us on a irresponsible fiscal plummet by large tax cuts while waging two wars" then, no.
Bush didnt cause the recession. Recessions are inevitable. But they can be lessened by federal intervention, mostly through pumping tax dollars back into the economy. The issue we had under Bush, obama and trump is were pumping money into the economy we don't have.
Why don't we have it?
Tax cuts without pork cuts.
