You betcha.
Don't confuse them with facts. They might short circuit. Actually, that would not be a bad thing.

Facts eh? Please then, have at it. Show us the facts how this is Bush's fault.

You people just never stop.

And to the others, lets stop "blaming". This oil spill isnt Bush's fault. Its not Obama's fault. The response isnt Obama's fault either. We had an explosion that killed 11 people. Oil gushing 5000 feet below. This isnt exactly something that is easy to be taken care of. Could Obama handled it better at the beginning? Sure. But there wasnt anything that couldve been done with out technology that wouldve stopped the leak right away.
Same goes for Katrina. Bush's response couldve been better. But the left argues its Bush's fault people died because they refused to evacuate. Heck, they pretty much blame Bush for the levees breaking and for the hurricane. The state response sucked and the idiots who chose to stay met a tragic fate that couldve been avoided.

I dont agree with blaming a single person for incidents like this. Just because that person is President, it doesnt make them God. Mistakes will be made and response will not always be the best.

I could say since the left and the media and hollywood, blamed Bush for Katrina and went as low as saying Bush let it happen because he "hates black people", that im going to do the same to Obama over this. I wont because its not right. It wasnt right during Katrina, and its not right now to do it to Obama.

That being said, I cant stand Obama and I have developed a borderline hate for the man. His beliefs, policies, and ADMITTED desire to transform America **** me off to no end. But I wont jump on him for something that isnt his fault

Dodd should be in jail and not on our TV sets.

He is a criminal law breaking scam artist and has no right blaming anyone for anything with all the problems he has caused the American people over the years.

Maybe is Dodd would not have scammed so much money from everyone we could pay for the clean up rather easily.

Dodd should be in jail period.

He is only retiring to protect himself from being tossed in jail for all his years of criminal corruption.

"DEREGULATION" was the name of the game amd Bush and Cheney were the players. You have obviously not followed the trail and the history of this tragedy.

Actually, the unions have ruined the middle class........You only have to look at the rot of Detroit and Pittsburgh to see that, if not, you're simply blind.

Unions started off with good intentions but many are now just disgraceful. Take the recent report about bus drivers in NYC. In their contract, they get 2 months paid time off, if they are spit on. Liberals at their worst. What a waste of tax payer money many unions are.
