There was a very unusual poll on Huffington this morning...
They asked the readers to choose who was most responsible for the present economy? George W Bush, Barack Obama, or Nancy Pelosi?? Yes, let's divvy up the blame equally, so as to promote bi-partisanship and to keep the sorry Republican Party alive. It just seemed unseemly to ask that question 45 days into this Administration.

1. It's like going to your house and finding everything trashed.

Who is to blame??!?! The owner, the kids or the guy that broke in? Well you can't blame the criminal, that'd be partisan.

2. Also, the guy who broke in has probably alreadly left
Why do you want to live in the past? We have to move toward the future.

10. No, don't move -- you have a lower cost of living in the past.
And maybe a better-built residence -- or at least one without a mortgage in default.

14. It wasn't an actual HuffPost poll, it was one of those Newsmax ads.....

3. Nancy Peloisi has some responsibility for sure, remember
"Impeachment is off the table" If Impeachment procedings had been brought, the US Treasury would be much healthier and our entire economy would be on a more sound footing.

11. Neither did the GOP to get a conviction against Clinton.
And that was with a bogus case.

Pelosi need not have taken off the table.

13. It was an ad from Newsmax, a right-wing nutbag website/magazine.....
It wasn't an actual HuffPost poll.
