Why is it if oil prices raise it's W's fault, but nothing is said if they go down? Why is it George W's fault if a hurricane hits New Orleans just because the stupid governor and mayor did nothing? Give me some answers George Bush haters and i'll look them over.

Oh, and by Hurricane Katrina, i meant why didn't Blanco do anything? They knew it was coming so why didn't they use those buses that she was so eager to use to get people to the voting booths to get people out?

Oh, and those of you who belong to that same cult as Rosie O'Donnell would you mind telling me how 9/11 is his fault?

Democrats and liberals are finger-pointers. Blamers. It's always "the other guy's" fault.
Republicans just roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Hurricane Katrina hit Mississippi much harder than it did NO, however, with a Republican governor, we have not heard word ONE of complaint about the way the federal gov't handled the disaster in MS.
Democrats are whiners.

Not everything in the world is Bush's fault.
But most of what has gone wrong happened on his watch.
He was president and Guillani was mayor on 9/11, just keep that in mind when they tells you how well they can protect you.
With guards like these, who needs the army?
.
He once was quoted as saying " ...in case of high oil prices.. I'll talk to the Saudis, I'll jawbone the prices down..."
Yeah right,,,, so when was the last time he even acted as if he cared? The guy was in the oil business for crying out loud, do you really think he cares?
BTW-fact: prices came down just before the elections in 2004 and 2006, how convenient!
.
He did not cause Hurricane Katrina.
But when the hurricane struck he was on vacation, and instead of acting concerned, he acted as if he didn't care. He flew over the city in a plane, he said "...Browny (FEMA's boss) was doing a heck of a job",, !!
The fact is, the Republicans have stripped government of it's ability to help America in a crisis! What a deal, they get rich and we get shafted.
.
The mayor of New Orleans did all he could as mayor and the governor did all she could as governor of Louisiana. FEMA should have and could have done more.
At this date, New Orleans is still a mess and the President still goes on Vacation more then any other president we've ever had.
.
And...stop blaming the victims!!!!!
.
The Iraq War,,,good grief, don't get me started,,,

yet another attempt to allure to interest from the mess united statesand scandals of the Obama administration. i've got considered this in the past. In 2008 you all reported BMcCain=Bush, even nevertheless to an excellent quantity it became out that Obama=Bush. next 12 months you will say that the GOP nominee=Bush. something to maintain the detest alive, huh? and that i doubt you have authority to talk for what the full international is familiar with. Wishing you probably did does not make it so. you are able to truly amplify your circle of pals.

Hurricane Katrina, of course, was not Bush's fault. Katrina was a naturally occurring disaster. What WAS Bush's fault was approving the appointments of certain people to head FEMA, which is in charge of responding to such natural disasters. Mr. Bush's underlings, sadly, used only personal patronage instead of patronage COMBINED with qualification to select such appointees.
It's not Bush's fault that worldwide prices of crude have risen considerably. It IS, however, his fault that no investigating of the price structure of the end product of that commodity has been undertaken. Witness the profit structures of the oil refining firms over the last several years.
I remember clearly from a few years back Bush promising that there would be "NO price gouging at gas pumps across America this summer." Unfortunately, he only targetted those who own the gas pumps against gouging, but did nothing to handle the price gouging of the likes of Exxon and Conoco Phillips, to mention two.

The same reason Bush still claims everything is Clinton's fault.
The hurricane was not Bush's fault and no one claims it was. It was his government's complete ineptness and inaction that people blame on him. As President, he does have to take the heat for how poorly his government does. It was more than the governor and mayor. It was Fema and slow reaction from Bush. Get used to it. Bush cannot manage. He never could.

George W. Bush ISN'T responsible for everything bad. I don't blame him for hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans, but I do fault him for responding very slowly to the situation there. I don't blame him for high oil prices, but his Iraq war - and it is HIS war - has worsen the instability in the Middle East and allowed the conditions that oil prices to fluctuate.
I blame him for tolerating torture, condoning the out-sourcing of interrogation to foreign countries, and generally lowering the world's opinion of the United States. He's the worst president of my lifetime. He should be impeached.

simple and bush has said it himself - he is the deciderer.
bush is the most powerful man in the world and makes more decisions on a daily basis than most of us will in a year.
sadly, he is in way over his head and he has made one bad decision after another.
bush started this preposterous war in iraq and drained america's national guard in doing so. where was the high water equipment that could have helped in new orleans? it was and remains in iraq - in a desert! bush drew funds away from the rebuilding of the levees and shifted them to iraq.
bush could help every american by using some of the strategic oil reserve and doesn't. he could reduce federal gas taxes and encourage states to do so - and he doesn't.
bush's bad decisions have literally touched us all - now paul wolfowitz will be resigning from the world bank - more detriment to america's standing in the world - who elevated wolfowitz? bush.
bush is in charge of a lot and has made so many bad decisions that he has touched a lot of us.
like it or not, bush won the presidency - and all of the responsibility that went with it.
remember - bush said he was going to bring accountability back to the white house.
well now he's accountable!

It is NOT all Bush's fault. Some of it is, but it's simply the leftist press doing what it does best. Reprting all the news that will get a lib in office.... and making up quite a bit of it too.
Think we forgot about you, Dan Rather?

It is his fault because you elected him to be responsible. That is what presidents are there for, to take responsibility.
