And I have to ask, did they ever make the connection between the loss of employment and their vote? I’m betting it’s still George Bush’s fault in their minds

Sad to yes, Bush will get the blame all the way to 2012 or God help us until 2016, even if we are in a Depression.

Here in New Jersey, Even though the Democrats have been in full control since 2000. Idiots (and not all of them hard core left) still buy the line that New Jersey's problems are because of Whitman and the Republicans in the 1990's.

Expect that idiocy on a national level, for the next 4, 8, 12, 16.. years

Hoover got the blame all the way to 1941. Personally, I still blame carter for the situation in Iran and Afghanistan when he let Khomeni kick out the shah and he let the soviets take over afghanistan which directly led to the taliban taking over.

Unfortunately, Bush deserves considerable condemnation for his domestic stewardship. Sure, Obama is making it worse, much worse. But Bush set the stage. It's healthy to admit it.
