Why do so many people blame Bush?

Question

Why do so many people blame Bush for everything that is wrong when they are the people who put him in office in the first place?

Yes many people opposed him but obviously the majority of people voted for him so that's my point...........

and what exactly are you saying he is guilty of?

Answer 1

Because it is easier to blame someone else for your problems than to stand up and take responsiblity. Perfect example - Hurricane Katrina. No preparedness for a storm they knew was coming for 2 weeks, then Bush was blamed for all of it...

Answer 2

Because Bush was a lie in the first place as nothing truthful has ever come out of his mouth. He was pampered to be President and was chosen by the NeoCon chickenhawk's from the PNAC to run for President.

George Walker Bush has been a total screwup all of his sad life and has really shamed the office of President of the United States. With Bush goes corruption, no wonder the nickname for this Administration is Bush and Corruption. The monkey will be gone in 17 months and will not ever to missed by the majority of Americans, as it will be "Good Bye and Good Riddance and don't ever show your face in Washington again you imbred Monkey".

Answer 3

In a general sense, Bush should be taking the blame for a lot of the missteps he and his administration have taken since January 2000. Bush is the commander and chief of the US States. Something adverse may happen which someone in his administration may have failed to advise him of, but that does not excuse him of his responsibility. As Bush states "the buck stops with him", and he is right.

Answer 4

personally i blame bush because i got tired of blaming god, but in reality he is blamed because it is his fault he is the cause of the two towers falling. he sent all the troops over there to die. what he has done is killing everyone and that is way i and many others blame him for all that is wrong. and we have every right to blame thous who are the cause of a problem

Answer 5

Well duh! Pay attention. He is guilty and should be blamed. Also since he wants to run the country like a CEO than like a CEO he is responsible for whatever anyone in his company does. That even applies even when he has no direct contact with the person or the incident. I hope this helps you understand why Bush is blamed for ALMOST everything.

Answer 6

Bush has set so many precedents when it comes to the white house. He's moved away from the typical republican platform. Basically, he's doing things no other president has in the preceeding years.

Answer 7

Because despite the fact that people voted for him they could not possibly have predicted that he would be as bad a president as he was. They voted for a dimwit not someone that was completely incompetent.

Answer 8

Because he is a lying NAZI FASCIST dope. If he had a brain he would be dangerous. He wants to kill us all, while destroying the constitution & taking away any rights we have left for his Imperial agenda. He was overheard yesterday saying "Hurry up & pass the illegal spy program so we can go forward with our next attack on the homeland, then we can prosecute some brown people & we get to torture them. Cooool!!!"

Answer 9

Because Bush is guilty. I blame OJ for the deaths of Ron Brown and Nicole, because he did it.

Ignoring the obvious is never a good thing and will always hurt, in the long run, versus help.

Answer 10

A majority did NOT put Bush in office. He lost the popular vote in 2000, if you will recall, and there are big questions of vote fraud in the 2004 Ohio election.

I don't blame him for Hurricane Katrina, although his environmental policies are likely to have exacerbated that storm. What I DO blame him for is the failed response, and the lack of foresight. "Who could have foreseen the levies would fail," Bush asked? Well, scientists, for one. The Army Corps of Civil Engineers and also scientists associated with LSU both had carefully detailed plans of what was going to happen and what could be done to prevent it, YEARS before it occurred. Inaction on the part of this administration did not cause the Hurricane, but it made the after affects much worse. Much of the disaster could have been prevented.

Another thing that made the disaster worse was Bush's dismantling of FEMA. Of course government cannot make a decent response to catastrophe when the branches of government responsible for giving assistance are headed by incompetent bureaucrats who have been busy eliminating and privatizing the agency they oversee.

38 days after President Clinton took office, the WTC was attacked by terrorists who killed about 5 people. Those responsible were brought to justice.

NINE MONTHS after Bush became president, he failed to act on intelligence provided by the previous administration that islamic terrorists associated with Osama bin Laden intended to attack the US, possibly by flying commandeered commercial aircraft into buildings. While I do not blame Bush for that attack, I blame him for allowing Osama to escape. Twice. And for failing to respond appropriately, and for responding inappropriately through the unprovoked invasion of an entirely uninvolved nation. How many of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq?

I also blame Bush for vetoing wisely crafted and well reasoned embryonic stem cell research legislation passed by a bipartisan coalition of congress. I also blame Bush for his program of "faith based initiatives" that have awarded millions of dollars to the Reverend Sun Myung Moon and to partisan political groups who enjoy only a veneer of religious trappings. Who could have foreseen faith based funds being awarded on political merit?

I also blame Bush for supporting torture, endorsing torture, and seeking to torture people of foreign nations, for eroding our civil liberties, for illegal wiretaps, domestic surveillance without court warrants, suspension of habeus corpus, and for basing national policy and religious and political whim over scientific data. I also blame him for supressing science, and censoring science when it conflicts with political policy.

I also blame Bush for alienating the US and increasing international disrespect for America throughout the rest of the world. There is a lot of blame to go around. We don't need to point fingers, we just need to replace incompetent leadership. That is pretty much Bush and his entire staff and cabinet.

I also blame Bush for converting a projected $4 trillion federal surplus into a $5 trillion budget deficit. The US needed those funds to pay down the federal debt and to help rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. Bush was not responsible for the bridge that collapsed in Minnesota recently, but there are thousands of bridges on our interstate highways that need to be rebuilt. Instead, we are frittering funding away to bridges in Alaska to nowhere, and other boondoggles.
