Well, the very right-wing, very Republican Wall Street Journal said the
current Depression began in 4Q '07/1Q '08, clearly on Bush's watch. Even
if you assume that the Depression didn't just happen overnight, but took
3-4-5-6 years to develop, that *still* is clearly on Bush's watch.
Also, Bush started both the Afghan and Iraq wars.
Obama, in his few months on the job only INHERITED the Depression and
the two wars from Bush...so, yes, we *DO* blame Bush.

The Clinton administration has turned the Community Reinvestment Act,
a once-obscure and lightly enforced banking regulation law, into one
of the most powerful mandates shaping American cities—and, as Senate
Banking Committee chairman Phil Gramm memorably put it, a vast
extortion scheme against the nation's banks. Under its provisions,
U.S. banks have committed nearly $1 trillion for inner-city and low-
income mortgages and real estate development projects, most of it
funneled through a nationwide network of left-wing community groups,
intent, in some cases, on teaching their low-income clients that the
financial system is their enemy and, implicitly, that government,
rather than their own striving, is the key to their well-being.
Well, if -you- claim to know this, then it would be a very fair
assumption to say that Bush knew it, too...AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT FOR
EIGHT *YEARS*!
So, with that in mind, once again, we DO blame Bush.
