Why Is President Bush is blame for just about every other ill on the planet in his lap.?

Question

What you think?

Answer 1

Peter D:

He was blamed for Katrina, even though he has no power over the weather...people also claim he is responsible for the tragedy there...I thought we elected state level leaders, such as mayors and governors, to take of state level problems.

He was blamed for 9/11. Yet, Clinton was in office for 8 years and did not do one thing to help stop terrorism...oh, he put a few people in Jail for the bombings of the WTC and the Embassy in Sudan...that was all. Oh! and Saudi Arabia had Bin Laden in custody Twice! And they offered him to us TWICE! But Clinton turned it down...you guessed it: TWICE! They blame Bush for 9/11, yet Clinton failed to apprehend a terrorist criminal who funded 9/11 when he had the chance.

What else, oh!

Global warming! Yet, Mr. Al Gore, who so strongly agrees that more must be done to stop global warming, barely did anything when he was VICE PRESIDENT for 8 YEARS.

All this blame on the President, yet, he is not really at fault for any of it. Those were just a few examples out of the many...hope I helped 'Peter D'!

Answer 2

How about just a few examples?

Making a blanket statement without any supporting examples makes you look like a paranoid, ignorant toady. No offense.

EDIT:

"He was blamed for Katrina, even though he has no power over the weather...people also claim he is responsible for the tragedy there"

--He was not blamed for Katrina. (You don't really believe that do you?) He was blamed for his administration's slow reaction to providing aid. Michael Brown proved himself an inept political appointee who wasn't up to the job. (Bush in a fit of delusion said that Brown was doing a heck of a job. What?!) I agree that the state and local governments deserve at least as much blame as Bush, FEMA, et al do.

"He was blamed for 9/11."

No one seriously blames Bush for 9/11. He *was* in office when it occured, but every fair assessment I've seen says there is plenty of blame to go around and holds Clinton's administration to be culpable as well. (When you blame Clinton in your rant, employing infallible and all-seeing hindsight, you do your argument a disservice.)

"Global warming!"

No one is blaming Bush for global warming. They might have some criticism for his denial of it and his initial reluctance to do anything about it, but nobody blames him. (Once again you aren't addressing the question here by deflecting non-existent blame to Gore.)

"All this blame on the President, yet, he is not really at fault for any of it. Those were just a few examples out of the many...hope I helped 'Peter D'!"

I can't find a single unflawed element in what you have said here, except perhaps with regards to the shared blame in the Katrina disaster. You have been willing to deflect blame to a host of Democrats, yet you seem to be willfully opposed to directing any at the Republicans. Yours seems to be a partisan argument. As such, you're defending your side and blaming the other. Doesn't that make you guilty of doing exactly what this question is complaining about?

Answer 3

President Bush has been vindictively attacked because he would not promote the Gay Agenda

Answer 4

Because he's the leader of the free world.
my opinion is it's because he's damned if he does and damned if he won't.
President of the United States the most under paid under appreciated office anyone could ever hold.

Answer 5

if you want to be the policeman of the world you have to expect that.
