{font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana</style>Both parties are to blame Joe. Bush drove too hard to the right. Congress drove too hard to the left. Instead of the result of a healthy balance, we had an unhealthy split. Of course Bush has a HUGE share of complicity in this whole mess.<br><br>Forward looking, Obama may have some legitimate blame too. I just think it's a little too early to tell even though the righties (especially those like Mr. right-mind who delude themselves into thinking they have the solution for everyone / everything) are already assigning defeat to Obama after he's been in office all of about 3 months. And just like how the righties assign failure to FDR in the form of 'his leftist policies that prolonged the Great Depression', even if Obama produces a solid economy, he will be villified for taking the supposed wrong (aka leftist) path toward prosperity.<br><br>-Scott<br><br><hr id="EC_stopSpelling">From: philosopher.joe@gmail.com<br>To: scooterd408@hotmail.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Moscow Tea Party<br>Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:47:20 -0700<br>CC: vision2020@moscow.com<br><br><div>OK but I never said it was "entirely" Bush's fault.

Joe,<br><br>Bush was at the top and as such the Republicans paid dearly in terms of losing the White House and Congressional seats in the November election.

Enron was good example of this. So was Lehman Brothers which was in business for something like 134 years before it went belly up with a CEO who walked with something to tune of $250 million over his reign.
