Conspiracy theory

So a guy on the bus this morning is talking about politics and says something along the line that had been Bush planning this economic crisis to explode later, so he could leave it for Obama to deal with and it happened sooner than he planned. I don't usually buy into conspiracy theories - it gives too much credit to people - I doubt Bush could plan for the economic downturn, now or later. But I liked the way the story has Bush assuming Obama will win.
