Should Bush be blamed for the state America is in or does both the house and senate share in responsibility?

Question

Pelosi called him a total failure but to me as big as a failure he is there is nobody with a clean slate. From local on up they have failed us. If you agree give names and how. Keep in mind they all have access to the media and the ability to red flag an issue that affects you.

Answer 1

I think that the TWO branches of government ( legislative and executive, the judicial is not equally involved with American policies) are equally involved. But, you have to remember that the vote of our president is equal to the power of 2/3 the vote of members of congress. So logically, he has more blame for the state of the nation than congress does. Get my logic?

Answer 2

they all failed america,short of term limits for these idiots it really wont change.pelosi really has no room to talk.76% of america wants to drill now while new fuels come on line.yet she wants the world to believe that the acerage set back of non producing oil  fields are full of oil.she knows this is a lie.we need to drill where it is instead of wondering through barren ground!

Answer 3

No, t As you said they all have there hands dirty in this mess. Its just easier to whine about Bush.

Answer 4

Not really - the ones to blame are those fools that elected him - TWICE!

Answer 5

All three branches of the federal government share a certain amount of blame.

Answer 6

Yes but don't forget the American people bear the most responsibility.

Answer 7

congress wins because they were the ones whom passed legislation forcing banks to lend money to people who could not pay it back.....

Answer 8

The president steers the ship.

Answer 9

You know that part where he proclaimed himself the Decider?

How great a leader he is?

All that captain of the ship, stay the course yak yak?

If we had a great economy, won the war and had our troops home and a peaceful Afghanistan with Osama in jail.

Don't you think he'd be the very first to break his arm patting himself on the back?

You take the job, you take the flak, you get the praise when its good, and the blame when its bad.

Answer 10

Pelosi makes me sick. Don't be fooled. Bush can only do so much. I'm not happy with him at all, but congress and the senate have fallen down completely.  But they always manage to go on recess when critical issues are on the floor.

Answer 11

Congress is worse than the White House.  They are all ruining this nation.  The past 16 years have been a complete and total boondoggle, and all the politicians are to blame.  

It's time for a third party and for people to stand up and not tolerate it any longer!

Answer 12

the president is one of the most influencial individuals, the buck stops with him.

Answer 13

All of them are idiots.

OUT THE INCUMBANTS!!!!!

Answer 14

Congress and the Executive branch share blame in the current state of our Union.

Answer 15

WE would be in much better shape if Congress had passed some of the legislation that Bush has requested.  Those failures came under both Republican and Democrat leadership, although the inaction has been more pronounced the last 2 years

Answer 16

They are all to blame for the state of the economy - from going on vacation without fixing anything ,to ignoring voters ,to loading the budget with pork projects that don't amount to anything, to blaming the opposing political party for all the ills the country is facing............until they take control then the voters are told there isn't anything they can do

Answer 17

It's the people's fault for sitting on their thumbs and not rising up to fix things.

Answer 18

The American people vote him in twice

Once I can see, twice??

Answer 19

I think Bush is to blame because he alone has veto power over anything Congress does. He has used this at his leisure to shape policy to favor Oil and corporations.
