Blaming Bush

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Chris Cillizza reports on an extremely promising poll result:

A new Washington Post/ABC poll suggests that most Americans continue to blame the sluggish economy on former President George W. Bush, a development that could complicate Republican efforts to lay it at President Barack Obama's feet this fall.

Nearly six in ten (59 percent) of those polled said that Bush was to blame for the current state of the economy while 25 percent put the blame on Obama.

Credit where credit is due. Kudos to the American people for getting it. Obama has pulled the economy back from the brink. It was Bush who sent it towards the abyss.
