I dunno, can we put "the American people" in the pole?

The American people are the ones that voted the current administration in for a second time in a row.

They are also the ones that didn't seem to particularly care that we were invading another country until it was clear that there would need to be sacrifices. This has only come up in the past couple of years as the "sacrifices" were deferred for several years.

They are also the ones that have bought into an unsustainable consumer culture. And this only seemed to matter when the economy started to tumble.

George Bush and his administration is just a reflection of what our short sited cynical society was for the last x years.

This poll is as bad as the ones that start out slamming Obama as part of their question. I hope we don't have four years of dueling polls that border on the ridiculous. Just as Obama supporters are starting to make the he isn't and American etc crowd look more and more ridiculous polls like this help to balance things out for them.

No oversight on my part. Bush's record is not a matter of my opinion.

The fringe right is doing a great job on here turning people against them. My concern is anything that helps to slow down their demise and gives their credibility a breath of hope.

Criminy. Look at the state of the country! You're going to blame people who see that and are angry about it?

There are blind, hateful people on this forum, and they are the ones who are making up FUD about Obama while ignoring the horrible disaster that is Bush.

Blame Bush for Katrina. Check.
Blame Bush for 9/11. Check
Blame Bush for the mortgage crisis - which began in 1997. Check.
Blame Bush for the price of gas. Check.
Blame Bush for black people having AIDS. Check.
Blame Bush for the auto industry crisis. Check.

Let's see... Is there anything you HAVEN'T blamed Bush for? Is he responsible for the skid marks in your undies too?

Where did I blame him for any of those? Do you enjoy lying about other people that much?
