If our economy fails to recover by 2016, which is the most likely scenario, will you, after eight years of Obama, still be blaming the depression on Bush?
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.
Well considering that depending on one's political perspective folks are still blaming James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, and Johnson, why the hell not?
Don't forget the grand daddy of them all, James Earl Carter Jr..
You have to be something of a fool to not blame Bush for what he caused. Refusing to blame Bush and blaming Obama for our economic troubles is akin to blaming the 9/11 rescue workers for 9/11
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.

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