What is this obsession with people kicking Bush in the balls (over and over) on a housing/economy forum? I voted for Bush the first time but once I saw that he wasn’t what I thought he was, I simply didn’t vote the next time around because I didn’t see anyone worth voting for. I’m also an ex-Republican and now an Independent with zero, party affiliation but I can see the good and bad in both parties when it shows itself. I don’t like the Iraq War and a whole lot of things about this current administration but if Gore or Kerry had been voted into the Presidency, I’m not too sure that all would have been “hunky dorey”, do you?

Now, we have Obama who may turn out to be a very competent President: Or he may not!
Kicking Bush as the main culprit over the housing debacle is ludicrous when we have such self esteemed characters in this debacle like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, etc. etc, etc. There’s plenty of blame to go around and if you want to stick your head up your ass and blame all of the problems in this country on one individual or one political party, your brain is simply wired to focus on the emotional rather than facts. Why don’t we stick to the intended focus on this forum?
