The main fault of all of them is the massive expansion of washington including freddir & fannie..........if we actually had a real capitailist and democratic country we would not have the crisis we r having

This is a good question... I'd compare it to a baseball (or other sport) manager. If the team wins the world series then the manager gets all the credit. if they lose then he gets the blame.

I think the pres should be held accountable for the military, foreign relations, FEMA, & other distasters/emergencies. The pres can not jump into every issue because it's just not feasible.
One thing I think the president is absolutely responsible for is who he hires as his advisors.

Ultimately, the Rumsfelds & Emmanuels of politics are the responsiblity of the pres since they have the authority to hire & fire.
Rumsfeld was a joke...
Emmanuel & Geitner are just as bad. If you (the voter) do not like the presidents staff, then that is a good reason to vote them out...

FAULT cant be pointed at any one person or party.

they are both crooked.

they have both had hands in this, and it goes back before bush/obama

LBJ's entitlement society has a big hand in this too
nixon taking us of the gold standard
carters cra
bush1 tax hikes
clintons expansion of the cra ,and his 'freetrade' agreements to include China into the WTO
bush2, medicaid partd, expansion of the government
obama taking the very same policies of bush and expanding them

well first of all, I have never seen Bush blamed for Linbaugh, He was around way before Bush was in the picture.. As for blaming Obama for REid and Pelosi, I see it the other way around. They are as much to blame as Obama.

Bush; things that I am not sure about: did we belong in Iraq and if so, should there have been a plan to get out? I have less problem with us going in than I do with lack of a plan. Any other blame for whatever has to be shared across the board, from what the American people may have wanted, by the congress and yes, the Pres.

Obama: more than anything, wanting to have his own way about everything, not listening to the people and claiming things like he would put so many people back to work, end the over the top unemployment, make our country strong again.

Obama: allowing the federal government to sue the state of AZ (in fact encouraging it)

giving the CC companies time to raise interest rate as much as 9 fold before putting the so called controls into place.

Apologizing to the world for issues in our country he doesn't happen to agree with.
