Funny - when Bush was in the White House, as we all recall, not only was he responsible for gas prices, but every single solitary bad thing that happened at the time. And when they couldn't hang historical events on Bush, they blamed his father and his grandfather. Prescott Bush was, essentially, Hitler. George Bush Sr was literally, LITERALLY, accused of having JFK killed.
It wouldn't take too much doing to find the DU threads where Bush used his Weather Machine to cause Hurricane Katrina - we all know that. But I recall when Bush also personally caused the shuttle Columbia disaster, and also made the Ryongchon disaster happen. And when they were bored with blaming their purulent diarrhea on GWB, they decided to claim that Laura Bush literally murdered a man with her car (unsure if that happened near or far from Chappaquiddick).
Long story short, DUmmies: smoke my pole. Your guy gets the blame and he deserves it. If it makes you feel any better, the DNC is about to have him Wellstoned anyway.
