Well in fairness to Bush you can’t completely evaluate him without understanding the actions of those who came before him either. For example Clinton’s repealing of the Glass-Steagall act has a lot to do with the current economic predicament. You cannot currently view Obama in anything but through the prism of what came before him either.
I do agree that given the intense partisanship behind everything, that any mention of Bush is bound to get the rabid right’s hackels up rather than aiding in the discussion
