No Wonder The GOP Has Been Staying Away From The Economy, Most Americans Still Blame Bush
Huh? That's all Mitt has been talking about. That's all the GOP has been talking about. Nearly every ad is about obama's abysmal record...and it will stay that way.

I hope he keeps at it shooting himself in the foot, as the overwhelming amount of americans think it's Bush's fault, not Obama's

LOL...did you read the article you linked to? The poll says that a majority of Americans blame Bush AND a majority of Americans blame Obama.

And, regardless of who Americans feel is responsible for the bad economy, the overwhelming majority do not approve of the way Obama is handling fixing it.

This is from the liberals' beloved Huffington Post:

Obama Approval Rating On Economy Declines: Poll

According to the Associated Press-GfK poll that this article is about, 65% of Americans disapprove of how Obama is handling the economy. And this poll was conducted in early May - before a lot of the recent bad economic news.

Bush and Obama nominated the fools.

Since Obama has kept many of Bush's fiscal and other policies (tax cuts, Gitmo, Patriot Act, etc), seems like one needs to be careful what they wish for.

90% of democrats feel Bush is to blame

67% of independents feel Bush is to blame

And the surprising thing is 49% of republicans feel Bush is to blame.

In the end resulting with 68% of americans overall feel Bush is the reason for the economic downturn.

Most say Bush to blame for weak U.S. economy, poll finds | Reuters
Excuse me? Why do you continue to lie? What you said is a blatant outright lie and you know it.

Anyone that has a brain and actual thinking capabilities knows it was the democrats and Obama who are trying to make this about anything but the economy. You keep repeating lie after lie as if its true. You're a fool.

If the vote happened today, Obama would be done. Even with those polls, people are not happy with Obama. Hell, his own are telling him to not talk about the economy because he cant spin it like he tries to. The economy is BAD. Obama's economy sucks.

I guess this will be very important if George W. Bush was able to run for a 3rd term.

Not so important otherwise.

I suppose people are smart enough to blame President Obama for not allowing the economy to fall apart after the bubble broke. Without the deficit spending we would still have an economy with unemployment in the 30%+ levels, housing sales near zero and a completely stagnant consumer economy that could not even feed everybody let alone provide fancy electronics. I blame President Obama for not letting this economy drive us into a world of a few Romneyite Princes and millions of near starving peasants.

I don't really blame Bush for anything because he was and is too drunk and stupid to make a difference. The thieves that infested his failed administration are to blame.

Obama has been avoiding the economy too, for the past 3+ years.
