That's right folks... Bush can be blamed for everything bad about any Republican but he can't take credit for anything good about any Republican. Come on...
All djc was saying is that Bush wasn't involved in a law that was passed in 1997, because he wasn't involved in our nation's government at the time. On the flip side, 99% of the complaints about Bush (in other threads, not in this one) have been related to things that Bush is directly responsible for, because he's the President now.
So, yes, Bush *can* be blamed for any bad thing that our government has done in the last 3+ years, because *he's the guy*. He gets all the credit and all the blame. If he didn't want that responsibility, he shouldn't have run for office.
