And the rules were put in by Bush and the people were all Bush appointees. right? But as you've said before, at the end of the day, if it happened when Bush was president, he's responsible, even if it started before he was president or was put into place by anyone else. And now it's all Obama's responsibility, not Bush's. All this talk of Bush is just tongue masturbation. Just as Clinton's screwups belonged to Bush, Bush's now belong to Obama.
But of course, I disagree because the hiring, firing, and rule making on the whole are very far removed from the president. The president is doing a job, not acting as god. And I'm not absolving Bush of anything here, just stating my general disagreement that it all started with him and was his fault.
