Been 6 years now. If your answer is 'yes' then in what year will it no longer be Bush's fault?

Hell no

Imo, three years is sufficient before claiming the economy as your own.
Potus chose the wrong medicine and made it worse.

Everything is Bush's fault. He's the single dumbest greatest puppet master of all time, still giving our poor do gooder of a leader trouble at every turn.

First 2 years it was still Bush's fault....last four years Mother Nature is to blame.
Posted on 8/27/14 at 11:38 am to Zach
Yes. It will no longer be Bush's fault when and only when there is another republican former president to blame it on.

Depends, are the democrats still trying to claim the economy is in recovery?

It's a lot of peoples fault.

No, Bush does not get credit for the economy doing well and having recovered.
And Obama does not get the blame for stagnant wages. That is generally well beyond the influence of a POTUS and their policies, although Obama has done all he can to try to address it and make it a talking point (increasing wealth/income gap, etc). His policies and ideology show he wants to do something about it and has tried to an extent, but it isn't going to change significantly any time soon.

We're coming up to 7 years pretty soon.

the president has very little control over the economy in the immediate term.
The bad economy wasn't the fault of bush in 2008, and isn't the fault of obama in 2012. It was too proximate to their terms.
The housing implosion was due to banking deregulation done in the 90s, the fed's actions and congress ignoring the festering mess than was FNM/FRE

The day a republican is elected, it will be his fault.

He didn't help the situation, that's for sure. A trillion dollar war for nothing is on him too.

Never was Bush's fault. His admin warned what was coming and the dems laughed him off. Clinton and the dems and reps in Congress agreed to repeal Glass Steagall.

What did you poll 6 years ago indicate?

Anything Obama proposes is shot down by the House GOP claiming it will hurt the economy. They scream bloody murder if he tries to bypass them. Then when the numbers come in showing a sluggish economy they yell AHA! We told Obama's policies would hurt the economy!
I mean don't you think it's a bit disingenuous to block virtually all of his policy proposals then criticize him for failing?

It's his fault when it's bad and Obama's doing when it's good.
It's kinda like really religious folk who attribute everything good that happens to the work of God (a miracle), but everything bad that happens to human choice.
It's a very convenient strategy.

How long have the Dems been the majority in Congress? I think they took control in 2006 right?
But really, you can't blame just one individual or group of people. Well, unless that group is the federal government in general.

It's the fault of everyone one in high power in charge of the economy. Bush was the head of the body that was in control when it went baad, but the body caused the crash not the head.
All the crap the bank did, the quick raise in house prices, the printing of money etc. caused the Crash.
We as americans like to place blame on one person. It is easy to blame bush because he was the head of the people who caused the crash. Bush actually didn't have that much to do with it.
