Who's to blame?

There has been a vast majority of the American population that has blame former President George W. Bush for the current state of the economy. I have heard the same thing over and over again, "Bush is the reason the economy is so bad." It is somewhat unimaginable to think that one person could cause such short falling for an entire nation. We live in a nation that is based on a democracy of checks and balances. We don't vote for a single dictator. The American voters vote for several Senators and Representatives to help facilitate the nation. It has been a popular voting scheme of the Democrats to rally their voters around the mishaps of President Bush. It would be more feasible to rally their voters around the economic policies of the Bush administration. We must note that President Bush did not do the "job" all by himself. The Wall Street Journal has stated that the tactic of blaming President Bush for the economic hard times is becoming ineffective. The American people want action to fix the economy rather than repeated claims of why it is in the current state. Recently elected Senator Scott Brown has gone under heavy scrutiny for his "Bush-like" politics; however, American voters elected him despite of his views. In this upcoming election year, I feel that the American voters will not remember the mishaps of President Bush, but rather the policies of the administration that has put our economy in a dysfunctional state. I feel this article brings light to a prospective that might be representative of the current American ideal.
