Democrats are still blaming Bush for today's economic woes. They say it will take Obama much longer than two years to fix Bush's mess. Exactly how long will it be before it stops being George Bush's fault and how long does Obama need to fix the mess?
The biggest thing Bush did wrong was trust Donald Rumsfeld's judgement on running the war effort. The housing bubble bursting is the biggest culprit in our economic troubles and while it is true that financial institutions had policies and practices in place that lead to the bubble and its collapse, one has to remember that congress, not the President inacts legislation and congress was controlled by the Democrats. Remember who was in charge of Fannie Mae and who his lover was?
Obama's failed policies are being blamed on the Republican minority. He faces no more obstacles than Bush did; in fact, his party has a majority.
Bush wasn't a good President but he wasn't nearly as bad as others. I won't mention names but one of them's initials were Jimmy Carter.
I'm not saying that we would have been better off with McCain and Palin. But I do believe we will be better off without Obama in the Oval Office.
