Americans still blame Bush for the economy

Talk Radio News Service photo

President Obama is still insisting that the poor economy is a result of the policies of President Bush. The Republicans are saying, three-and-a-half years have passed – it’s your economy Mr. President.

A new Gallup poll, however, suggests the president’s message is resonating with the American people.

More than two-thirds (68%) of Americans say former President George W. Bush deserves a great deal or a moderate amount of blame for the nation’s economic woes – substantially more than the 52% who say the same about Obama.

    I blame Bush less and less each day.

    I blame the GOP for their partisan nonsense in putting the agenda of reclaiming power their failure to work with the President to at least to attempt to fix the economy.

    I blame the President and his economic team for not grasping the severity of the crisis when the Presidents term started.

    Mostly I blame the American people for not rising up in mass against the politicians and say enough is enough; you work for US and not the RNC or the DNC. The Tea Party was absorbed into the GOP and while they attempt to hold the old guard to their standards so many of those TP members that were elected to Congress have come accross as raving lunatics(Joe Walsh/Alan West/Michelle Bachmann are prime examples) or already sold out to the status quo. OWS has been ineffectual in the USA in delivering any kind of coherent message.

    Now I more concerned with the collapse of the Eurozone and how that financial meltdown will affect what happens in this country. If we as a country can’t fix what happened here in 4 years imagine what it will be like if the entire continent of Europe gets dragged down by the fiscal crisis in so many of their member countries!!!

    Why blame Prez Bush- 2 wars – expensive

    Try that in a job and tell your boss you can’t do as asked because the person before you did something wrong– and he would say–that’s why I hired you-FIX IT ! or …and you all know what comes after the ‘or.”
