To be fair. Bush didn't do much to counter that propaganda.
No, you’re right. For some reason he did a terrible job making his case.
“To be fair. Bush didn’t do much to counter that propaganda.”
Exactly. But it goes much deeper than that. In the midst of this government economic insanity, Bush and other Republicans tell us that it is not their fault, and that they tried to fix it before it could happen, and that we should blame the Dems. Well, that may be true, but they also made no effort to impress upon the public the true nature of the problem, and keep pounding at it until it sank in. It is the responsibility of those in power to deal with these things openly and honestly, and Bush didn’t. He and others gave their token tries and then just let it happen, all the while spending like drunken sailors.
