Sounds like a line from "Mr. Grinch".

I can understand the "Bush's fault" for maybe the first 2-3 months.

But we're coming up to a year here and we still get the "Bush's fault" and now it's "well Bush did it so Obama can to".

How many more months or years before this administration takes responsibility and ownership ?

Yes he is but he doesn't care...because Obama has used the Bush accusation so much hardly any person with a brain will believe Obama and it is firing back into Obama's face....

I've never been a Bush supporter. But this is a good question and I vote yes, he had become the scapegoat for all of Washington's failings. Which was fair at the time way because the leader must bear the brunt. But since he's left the new administration has made him an unfair scapegoat by not taking responsibility for themselves.

What exactly is a "scapegoat"?

Because the policies and damage that Bush did cannot be turned around in a mere 2-3 months.

Bush is not any scapegoat. In my honest opinion, he is getting off too easy. Everything rude and terrible that is said about him ruining our country is correct and I do not feel sorry for him at all.

PS-And before people bash me, YES-I will say the same about Obama if his policies worsen our country.

Absolutely Agree!!!

I voted YES also.. I didn't vote for Bush in either the 2000 or 2004 election, and didn't like many of his policies.. However, when some people speak of the former President it would seem that he was the MOST productive President in History with all of the horrible atrocities he had committed..

What many of the libs and Democrat apologists fail to see is that much of the deregulation and trade deals that screwed the average American worker were put in place by Bill Clinton and other previous administrations.. It's funny how Bush was demonized over the Iraq war but the peace movement was silent when Clinton bombed the aspirin factory in Kosovo OR isn't marching in the streets over Obama's very likely esculation of troops in Afghanastan..

I'm tired of hearing the whole "Obama's only been President for XX months, give him a break".. Bush was President for 9 Months when the WORST terrorist attack on U.S. soil occurred, Obama basically knew what he was walking into when he ran for President..
