10 days from Obama marking his first year in office and the economy is still Bush's fault, a majority blame former President for the bad economy. New Poll this morning from Rasmussen

Its less than it was, right?
Yes, but here is the bad news for the Democrats. That number goes down every month. Within 90 days Obama is going to own this economy in the mind of the majority.
Where was the poll in 2002 if 9-11 was Clinton’s or Bush’ fault?
Even the dumbed down sheeple will get tired of this line Barry. Time to put on the big boy pants and start acting like the CinC
What??? No blame for Barnie Fannie Freddie Frank for pounding the economy’s prostate?
Probably was not even in the poll questions.
Obama will be running for re-election and still be blaming Bush
The American public is, to a large extent, ignorant.
The Clinton administration and the Repubs in Congress gave us the Gramm Leach Bliley Act as well as the Commodities Modernization Act. Combined with CRA we had a nightmare waiting to happen. Bush did make an issue about Freddie and Fannie but no where near enough to do something about it. Congress was also willing to sign off on leverage limits that in the end resulted in the blow ups of Bear Stearns and Lehman among others.
This is really hard to believe but I know Rasumussen is generally reliable.
Still, it’s a stunner.
It would appear that the DemocRATS’ “Dumbing down of America” thing in our public “schools” really worked out well for the DemocRATS.
Watch, this will still be front and center during this years congressional elections, too.
And if it was, it certainly wasn’t worded that way. :-)
This is sickening. Perhaps a couple more million out of work and made financially devastated is what’s needed.
I thought Rasmussen was a shill for the right wing?
Ya. All this started in the 90s. I worked for the dealer finance market of BofA, at the time. We had to train lenders how to make bad loans that would have been considered a firing offense just a few months before.
I could see the writing on the wall then. That’s why I didn’t buy a house: I knew the market would climb but I wasn’t sharp enough to know when it would crash.
The video has been “removed” from YouTube, but can be found here—see link at end....
“The Capital Markets Subcommittee Chair, Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania, tells C-Span how the world economy almost collapsed in a matter of hours.
At 2 minutes, 20 seconds into this C-Span video clip, Kanjorski reports on a “tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars.” According to Kanjorski, this electronic transfer occured over the period of an hour or two.”
Bush’s fault? yea......sure....

I agree, but in our minds, the Democrat Party is far more responsible for the economy than Bush. Bush should've said no to that stupid TARP. That would've went a long way in keeping the blame off of him.
