It's much easier to blame somebody like the president. Single sole person, instead of the whole. Congress, business, union's, bankers. Bush didn't force anybody to run up their credit card debt. Buy that extra home that,now, can't be flipped for a tidy sum. Bush forced China to buy all that steel,oil, and ship back all that quality merchandise to the Walmart/K-Mart,Sears store. It was Bush that forced RCBS and Lee to go over seas for their castings. All the car manufacture's because labor over seas is 1/4 or less than here in the states. Lets blame Bush. Alot easier than admitting that we all had a part in it. 2 main things that I see that Bush really did screw up on, immigration and spending. Should have gotten tougher on one, and less on the other. gypsyman
