Yes, I know Bush did cause many of the problems we faced, some of the problems pre-date his Presidency. It can be argued this CDS mess has its roots in the Clinton Presidency and Larry Summers ideas. That being said, Barack and the Democratic Senate have inherited a mess.

The Democratic Party is firmly in charge.

So when our Democratic Senators have a vote for moving Gitmo and a super majority of Democratic Senators, most of which have been vocal critics of that facility, vote against it, Bush did not do that.

When we continue the fleecing of Americans with bad credit card legislation, bad bail-out policy, very limited relief for home owners, Bush did not do that.

When the health care debate starts and the Insurance Industry has a seat at the table in discussion and the Single Payer advocates are being laughed at by our democratic Senators as they are pulled from the Senate chambers, Bush did not do that.

When we have been handed the two wars and we escalate our war in Afghanistan and continue our presence in Iraq, Bush did not do that.

When we have 59 going on 60 US Senators and the Employee Free Choice Act can't get passed, Bush did not do that.

When we have evidence of war crimes, committed in our name, and we fail to prosecute the war criminals, Bush did not do that.

George W. Bush is probably the second worst President this nation has ever seen (Buchanan was a bigger disaster the country went to war with itself after his term).

Just because he was a horrible leader and a war criminal doesn't give a Democratic Congress and White House the excuse to be mediocre to bad.

Pointing our fingers only last so long folks.
