You are absolutely right Pat - the blame is not GW's alone. But looking at the larger picture - doesn't the level of inaction and ineptitude on the part of the fed govt. (and state govts.) say a lot about his leadership over the past few years since 9-11? He transformed the govt under the guise of making America safe - spent many billions of dollars doing it - and look what it got us. Like it or not Pat - GW is the face of this new terror fighting govt - and if you're going to take credit for the sunshine - you gotta take credit for the rain.
