Everyone blames Bush for everything. Gas Prices, Health Care, the War. But should we really blame the president, or the people that voted for him? Last time I heard about 4 million Americans voted for President Bush to be re-elected. Yes, the president pretty much stinks, but is it really his fault he is in office?I read things on Yahoo! Answers, and other websites. But not only is it on websites, it's everywhere. I hear people talking about how much he sucks.I live in Alabama, the Bible Belt. And I heard a lot of those conservative, Christian groups/voters complain how much of a bad president he is. But aren't they part of the reason why he got re-elected? I think, "hey didn't you re-elect him?"

I would blame big business, Bush is just a puppet. The media is controlled by special interests which get their puppet governments elected every 4 years.All front runners accept lobbyist money which shows where their loyalties are at.

Yes. We definitely need to take responsibility for who we elect into office. We need to check the FACTS and details of past deeds & proposed policy. We need to begin w/ responsible voting at the local level & follow through all the way up to congressional & presidential elections. Bush is probably right up there as the worst or one of the worst presidents - but we definitely put him there.

I blame the people that make bad decisions everyday and then try to place the blame on someone who was not part of the decison making processis it george's fault that you took out a bad loan to buy your overpriced home that you cannot afford?is it his fault that greedy lawyers have forced the price of medical care up so far that normal people cannot afford itor that you dropped out of high school to pursue a career in selling drugs and now can't support you 4 kids or their daddy's?how about you step up and take responsibility for your own life

Well, voters could not foresee all what he was going to do.In defense of Bush, however, we should see that he's not the king of the USA. Everybody blames him for everything, but what about the Congress and the Senate? They are just as responsible for all the actions.

i agree.it is the people who put him back into office the second time who's at fault here.and they're getting their just desserts now.unfortunatly, those who didn't vote for him are suffering too.and that's just how it'll be should they put HRC into office. i'll just sit back and say, "Oh, well. y'all asked for it."

The people to blame about the gas prices is OPEC not bush.

Here is what we've come to: A President blinded by power and privilege, oblivious to the devastation toward which he is pushing America and the world. An International corporate culture run amok, freed from restraints in every area from pollution control to health and safety standards to merciless price-gouging, even as the abuses slip quietly from the attention of corporate owned media. An economy trumpeted as "blooming" even while hundreds of thousands lose their jobs, slip into poverty, are left without homes or health care or enough to eat. A "Patriot Act" that makes all of us traitors if we speak out in any way the Washington thought militia deems threatening. Warrantless Wiretapping, Systemic Torture. Abuse of Detainees, Cherry-Picking Intelligence, Muzzling Truth tellers, Shredding our Constitution.George W. Bush, his administration along with the 109th and 110th Congress are to blame. Congress has allowed this President to shred the constitution with no oversight. Congress is the ones who allowed this mortgage meltdown. Congress is our Nations lawmakers, during Bush's terms as President the legislation is written by Corporate Lobbyist, Lawyers and Religious, Social and Ethnic interest groups. If George does not wish to enforce a law he does so by issuing a signing statement which he has done more than any President before him. Then their is Bush's misguided Faith based Foreign Trade Agreements.The people who VOTED for BUSH were duped by hype of main stream media (corporate elitist) as they set the agenda and tell you these are the candidates for office, make your choice. Those who have a brain, know BUSH has been a failure his entire life in every aspect.

how far back are you willing to go in assigning blame?Jimmy Carter almost singlehandedly overthrew the western looking government of Iran and installed the current theocracy. The Shah seized power in the early 1950s after another attempt by Stalin to create a communist government in Iran [there'd been a prior attempt in the 1930s.]Jimmy was elected as an outsider who would clean things up after the moral pit dug by President Nixon's paranoia.Nixon only got the job because the US news media did an undeserved hatchet job on President Johnson after the Viet Cong's Tet offensive [which was a bloody military failure, btw]. The complicity in the news media with leftists and Communists is fairly well known.The communist government of VietNam traces its lineage to Comrade Stalin and his then stooge, Comrade Mao.Those two bloody dictators got into the act courtesy of Lenin, who seized power from the Tzars -- another set of very brutal dictators.Lenin was recruited by the Kaiser's government from a jail cell and secretly shipped to Russia in order to further bedevil the Tsar's government during World War I. Between the new tactics invented by the Germans and Lenin's attempts at uprisings, the Tsar lost the war.Of course, Lenin would have had much poorer intellectual grounds if he had not learned from Marx and Engels.Marx was only a moderately well known economist in England before he collaborated with Engels. If I recall correctly, the political scare in England just after the turn of the century was that the monarchy was more German than English, with key members speaking German and holding lands and titles in Germany, plus being related to the Kaisers. So the virulent anti-German rabble rousers [Marx and Engels] were, in essence, protected by the English common people because they advocated the overthrow of the Kaiser.how far back would you like to go?

It would be a difficult job being the President, it doesn't matter who it is they will never please everyone. President Bush has brought the USA through more disaster, and hard times tan any President should have to endure. Your right, every thing that has gone wrong has been GW's fault. That's OK our President has big shoulders, and they wash off well.
