To blame for what??? Keeping our country safe from terrorists???  The question should be......."Do you think Bush is wrong for wanting to protect OUR COUNTRY from other countries who sent terrorists to board a plane and kill THOUSANDS OF OUR PEOPLE because they have different beleifs than we do????" I will post this question and see what kind of answers arise from it.

It is President Bush's fault.  It is his fault because he is in charge.  Only people who have been in charge understand this principle.  First year cadets at West Point are allowed only two answers: "Yes, sir." and "No excuse, sir.".\n\nBush is simply not a capable leader in times of crisis.  We saw that in the days immediately following 9/11, and the days immediately following Katrina.  Bush is now playing the "Lessons Learned" card, while we have seen he is incapable of learning these lessons.  I don't know which is more disturbing, his performance with that fireman's hat on the rubble of my World Trade Center, or that infamous photo of him peering out of the airplane window at all the suffering below.  It wasn't until Mayor Nagin was radio broadcasting that next Friday morning, about the crazed drug addicts and criminals running rampant, that Bush finally gave the matter some serious attention.

Radical islamic terrorists were responsible for 9/11. Not Bush.\n\nAnyone that says otherwise is a partisan a-hole.

wrong as wrong can be, every death that has happened over there since the day of our invasion, has to blamed on bush.  he should be tried as a war crimminal in iraq.

People would have blamed Bush for not retaliating.

Bush didn't keep his word is the correct answer to the question.

Ha ha!!!  Why not blame it on the myth of the liberal media?  The sound you hear isn't the sound of the tree falling.  It's the sound of our illustrious president's public approval rating going down another few points.  The real question is, did he set out to destroy this country, or is he doing it by accident?

I don't think that liberals think that Isreal caused 9/11-- I don't know where you came up with that idea.  \n\nI'm not sure on Bush.  I don't think that all liberal people blame Bush for the tragedy.  I'm fairly liberal and I don't blame him for that.  It's sad that it happened, but I don't think that he could have prevented it.

Absolutely not!\n\nIf anyone should "apologise" it should be Bush to the American people for getting us into his farce of a war with a country that was of absolutely no threat to us!!!!!\n\nBush is trying to appear upset and outraged but the truth of the matter is that he is absolutely desperate to make it appear that any democrat is doing anything right at this time!

Those of you claiming that Prof Adam is saying these things are all Bush's fault by calling it the Summer of Bush, He never said it was Bush's direct fault, so maybe you're seeing something and believe it is eh?  And yes these things are directly Bush's fault, but as the President it is his job to repair them.  Lying to the American people, spying on them and starting a war in the wrong country (Note: War ALWAYS raises gas prices) is not the best way to repair things.\n\nIn any case, yes it's going to be another Summer or Bush.  Sure others have had corruption in the past, thing is, they either didn't get caught or didn't end of using the lies to the public to start a war.  Clinton I would say is guilty of the opposite lie, Not telling us enough of what is going on.  Bush makes up stuff to tell us instead.  I can't speak on Enviro Pollution cause I haven't heard anuything new on it but as far as the rest, yeah it'll happen.  Then expect some damage control right around November.

George Bush, or is it the other way around.

It's easiest just to blame everything that goes wrong on computers, because otherwise we would have to blame like everything on George Bush, and that wouldn't be entirely honest. Almost, but not entirely.\nSo go on, just blame the stupid machines, they won't mind for now and their hyperintelligent (not George Bush then...) offspring will know where to find you....

At least twice each week I read the rant of another angry American who declares that Bush is an idiot, but if they're just figuring that out now, they're throwing stones from a glass house. Of course he's an idiot. They needed an idiot. If the man displayed any signs of intelligence, evil actions couldn't be  passed off as "failures" or "bungling." If the president were intelligent and scholarly, people would question why he's completely incompetent, \nbut because he's an obvious buffoon, many people accept that as the reason everything's \ngoing horribly wrong. It's also a lot less distressing to believe that your government is incompetent rather than know that they're evil, and most people will cling to that comfort.\n\n               The real problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's  too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,  he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\n               Of course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, \nwhy is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \nThe questioner makes the  assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as \nmuch cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. If you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.\n\n             Freedom and justice are fading memories, the U.S. Constitution is "just a goddamn piece of paper," and the election process has been undermined. The jobs have been shipped overseas, the economy is hopeless, the environment is being raped, the Army is "broken," the infrastructure is crumbling, our borders are being dissolved, and every dollar or gold nugget that was subject to being looted, is already gone. With the entire nation and its population deep in debt, crashing the economy is a simple matter of raising interest rates, which will allow the bankers to once again scoop up all mortgaged property, and force its inhabitants out into the street. Instead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a foreign invasion, because the consequences of this invasion are as terminal to our freedoms and to our way of life as any act of terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS.  \n\n             The American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by Mexico! Yes, Martha, you had better believe it. \nThe Mexican government is deliberately and systematically working to destabilize and undermine the very fabric and framework of American society. \n             And President George W. Bush and Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) ar

Okay, first about the comment above mine about Bush. It is mainly not Bush's fault that this country is in such a mess. It is our own personal doing, we are just too irresponsible to accept that. So don't give me that bull about Bush. You try running a country. Okay. Now to answer the question.\n\nI think that the problems in the US are a whole lot bigger than just money. Yeah, the first step is having money to help, but what we really need is a change on our general outlook on life. We Americans are for the most part very selfish, self centered, and ignorant. If somehow we could somehow all change our values and not consider worldly possesions of so much importance, then we could change the country and make a larger change than money could do. However, since it is technically impossible to do so, if you really want a change, focus on how you bring your children up. My parents did an excellent job bringing me up. Not having a TV, I have grown up entertaining myself by reading and inventing games in my spare time. They have influenced me with the best of their own personal values, which helped me stay out of a lot of the trouble kids got into when I was younger. That is what I think should be done.

because it is the policy of the Bush administration to not be responsible for anything and to always put the blame on someone or outside factors
