He'll still be partly responsible. Serving the debt takes a lot of money. Henry VIII still gets a lot of blame for the Royal's troubles in England. That was over 400 years ago.

Give it another 70 years though. People will forget the lessons we learned here. They'll talk about how bank regulation is bad and we need to get rid of it and this will all happen again.

I'll wait while you google some left wing bloggers for an answer.

I blame Obama for the fact we still aren't in a "real deal" recovery. As another poster said, Bush dug is into a hole with a shovel. Obama has taken a backhoe to it. Let me give another analogy. Bush left us with a pile of dog feces. Obama has taken that feces and smeared it all over the sidewalk and urinated and vomited on it. That is what we are dealing with here.

Yes. His administration did great harm to our country. Undermined our natiional security. Unforgivable.

It was more like 5.7 to 10.5 T. Not 3.5T.

Will you still be blaming FDR in 2016? Bill Clinton? Jimmy Carter? Most likely.
