Americans Blame Bush and the GOP Not Obama for the Economy

A new CNN/Opinion Dynamics poll released today should provide some hope to Democrats and cause a bit of concern for the GOP ahead of the mid term elections. The poll revealed that a majority of Americans (53%) blame George W. Bush and the GOP not Barack Obama and the Democrats for the nation’s current economic problems.

obama and company have made things worse

Conjecture.

And yet they'll be handing the House over to them in two months. Deal with it.

I agree. That was probably the single biggest cause, rolling back Glass Steagal. But Phil Graham had a big role in that as well. He is a democrat btw. And Glass Steagal was an FDR New Deal piece of legislation.

But there were hundreds of other causes of our meltdown. Wall street surely deserves a lot of blame. As does the Fed, Fannie and Freddie, the entire mortgage securitization industry etc.

EVERYbody is to blame. Even Europe and China.

Here's the problem here. People are all looking to blame the other person.

Does anyone honestly believe that either party is blameless in our current state? The problem is Republicans or Democrats. The Problem is the people of this nation have become corrupt. So we end up with representatives who are corrupt.

We will not fix these problems with politics. We will fix them by changing ourselves.

Speak for yourself. Conservatives have become corrupt yet have problems admitting it , so they use 'the people' in place of 'we'

and like the President said, the GOP has become the party of "No we cannot!"

You are so blind. The Democrats have done the same. They are not any better for this Nation. If you still think so you are the fool.

Our best hope is constant gridlock because everything they do is corrosive to us all. In the end it does not matter who win or who is in power. We all still get screwed because they are leading us toward collapse. 110 Trillion in unfunded liabilities and counting.

Nothing either party can or will do now can save us from that. IMO

democrats have become corrupt yet can't admit it.

Consult this thread for bonafide proof.

In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.

the problem with listening to idiots like you cherry pick stuff from the 1700s, is it is embarrassing to witness the failure of the American educational system up this close and personal.

Instead of putting blame on someone they should be seeking credit for fixing it.

 

[nia588]

well bush and his cronies ran this country for 8 years. when he entered office there was a surplus when he left there was a trillion dollar defeciet.
so you cannot blame people for blaming bush.

Of course you are willing to give the deocrats a chance a house divided cannot stand.

So when you see danger do say NO don't do that, or do you go along for the ride?

Oh and people must stand for something or they will fall for anything, in your case it seems that part is true. If saying no when people know something is wrong, I will live with that. Can you live with the yes that just striped you of your rights?
