As bad as that it, they were voting to slap GWB around more than they were voting for Obama. I still believe that GWB is responsible for these horrors though his inaction.
As long as you’re going there, you can also lay some blame on McCain for being a weak opponent, IMO.
IF young people voted for Obama to "slap GWB around" (a ridiculous assumption on its face - they voted for an American Idol, cool black guy), it's only because they believed the incessant media lies about President Bush.
It's really time for you to move on, and put the blame where it belongs. President Bush is NOT responsible for "horrors." The American people made a bad choice based on bad information and gross stupidity.
Period.
