It's pathetic how childish America has become. Most Americans like to point fingers at Bush whenever he does something wrong because they are too lazy or too stupid to open their eyes, when most of the time, it is not even his fault what happens. Bush is a good guy who is surrounded by a bunch of morons like Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Cheney. His father is a nice guy and his mother is a nice woman. It was not Bush who was pushing for the Iraq War, orginally. It was the loser who goes by the name of Paul Wolfowitz, who was trying to persuade the government to invade Iraq since the 90s because he thought Iraq was a threat to Israel and he got his chance as Deputy Secretary of Defense to help get the Iraq War started. I would like to see how people who criticize Bush all the time like idiots could run the country and make the difficult decisions Bush has to make all the time and be surrounded by the jokes Bush has to take advice from all the time. Bush is an average President.

Those who will not take responsibility for their own actions blame others. Losers never find fault in their actions, they always pass the buck.

Right or wrong, Bush is the leader of the US government. If things are going well in the US, whether he had a hand in it or not, he would get the praise for it. If something is wrong, he gets the blame, whether he deserves it or not.
I am sure he is a great guy to hang around with and have a few beers. However, Wolfowitz, Cheney, or Rumsfeld does not sign off on decisions... Bush does.

War, Martial Law, Ethanol wrong decision, record in high dents, record in increase government, wrong decision globally, more countrys against US government, more army. more death, more disaster in the middle east, more official lies, ..........................more and more planing Chaos............
But :
Political Leadership is a Myth
The best of all of them can only reduce power state (Ron Paul is a very rare exception.......his honest and tell the true about War and free markets.......)
Take a look at where and how the products you use every day are made. Therein lies a remarkable story of the genius of entrepreneurship, the capacity for the world economy to manage itself and overcome ten thousand barriers, and the direction we are headed. It is a world in which consumers and producers from all nations can join hands in praise of the networks that draw them together, and against their common enemy: governments that would stand in the way.
To understand the world being recreated before us, we must constantly keep this principle in our mind: trade based on ownership is always and everywhere mutually beneficial. Within the institution of trade—whether on the most local level or the global level—we find the key to peace, prosperity, and human flourishing. If we understand this, we have no reason to fear our fate except to the extent that anyone anywhere dares to interfere. If we understand this, we can see why being led into the future by the political class is something we should neither desire nor expect.

Sorry, no pity party for me.
Your right about Mr. President keeping a few morons for company. They very well share in the blame for some very poor decision making. However Mr. President catches the "poop" because we average folk figure the buck stops there. He still has the power to affect change. When the majority of a nation is pitching a hissy fit and nothing happens to change it, we always point to the Commander in Chief. The office comes with inheriant risks, our forefathers have endured this and worse since the beginning. Frankly, it's essentail to the "Freedom of Speech Act".

Thats usually what people do when times are rough. Its always the person in charge whose fault it is. You know the saying "The buck stops here" well if Bush embraces that saying, as he has in the past, he will see everything bad and sometimes good that has happened in this country as a whole to ultimately be his fault.

The people that blame Bush for each little thing are constrained to the few, who have no self-worth, low IQ, and extremely short memories. seems they like it the two strategies. First he lied approximately WMD's in spite of the actuality that this became a actuality sixteen years merely before his taking the helm from the fool that allowed 3000 Marines to be killed, a deliver and military workers be killed and did no longer something approximately it. i might like it if a minimum of considered one of you need to tell me which coaching you opt for to have faith, they do or they have not got the desire to construct the bomb? And why now?

ok, but was wolfowitz president? does wolfowitz now have the power to bring to bring every soldier in iraq home? did bush have other advice besides wolfowitz? it doesn't matter who bush has around him, he's still the president, and he is therefore held to a far higher standard than his advisors.

Probably the same reason why right-wingers blame Clinton for 9/11 when it was a republican majority, that trimmed his anti-terror proposals.
Who chooses the Presidential advisers that you say are "morons"again?? They sure aren't elected, or appointed by congress.
hint: Bush appoint those "morons".
and in case you didn't notice, Rummy was calling for a change in direction, in Iraq, before he got canned. you do remember what his job was right? now if he has the beg Bush for a change in direction, who does that suggest is realy in control of things?

Even if I wre willing to conced Bush is just a "good guy surrounded by morons"--that merely proves my point. If his choice of advisors is that bad--then he should have gotten new advisors. He makes a big deal of being the "DECIDER." So ts his responsibility.
And it is his responsibility in any case--that's why the sign on his desk says "the buck stops here." If he's surrounded himself with the foolish and the corrupt--what does that say about him?

The media and the left wing have made it a mantra to blame bush for everything. They have created this evil monster, just as the SS did with the Jews with their propaganda. This is just additional proof that the dumbing down of America is almost complete.

because when there's a head-on collision of a school bus with a gas station, bursting into a fireball of death, when it's revealed that the bus driver was asleep at the wheel, one tends to logically want to place blame with the bus driver
call us crazy but it's just a little old thing called "LOGICAL REASONING"
but true - he's not the only one responsible - but he should hardly be free from his share of blame.
