A majority of Americans believe that former President George W. Bush is more responsible than President Obama for the current economic problems in the country, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Fifty-four percent of respondents said that Bush was more to blame while 29 percent put the blame on Obama; 9 percent said both men deserved blame while 6 percent said neither did. Among registered voters, the numbers are almost identical; 54 percent blame Bush, while 30 percent blame Obama.
Independents, widely considered the most critical voting bloc this fall, continue to blame Bush far more than Obama for the economic troubles. Fifty-seven percent of unaffiliated voters put the blame on the former Republican president, while 25 percent believe the blame rests more with Obama.
Heck, even one in five Republicans say Bush is more responsible than Obama for the state of the economy!

Pointing the finger is not going to get the job done. Lack of improvement happened on Obama's watch. Lack of handling Congress happened on Obama's watch. Unemployment happened on Obama's watch and that has improved some.
Even though Bush is responsible should we give Obama another chance since he has not been able to make anything happen?
This blog picks up on news that is not going viral in the mainstream media. This is an important poll because it's the first one done asking if there's anyone out there that still blames Bush for the state of our economy. That's why you read it here first unless you saw it elsewhere like DKOS. But there's a reason you're NOT seeing it on CNN.
If you would like to see the remarkable things Obama has accomplished in his first term, please visit the White House website. It's impressive. Facts voters will weigh in the general election. Thanks for visiting Wondering.
