With his 42% approval-which is buoyed/distorted by unanimous approval from Brown People-it's pretty obvious that regardless if American's still "blame Bush", they're not giving Obama benefit of the doubt. The Blame Bush philosophy is like an option. Each day it's value erodes. At this point, with 4 years into, Democrat super majorities in Congress and with zero improvement in the economy, deficits and Afghanistan, the onus is totally on the Democrat's. If you're a Dem candidate, you can't even run on a Blame Bush platform. What are you going to say? My opponent will bring back the disastrous Bush policies? As opposed to what? The Happy Days are Here Again policies of Obama? Gallup's generic Congressional ballot btw: Biggest GOP lead of the cycle, today. 50-43. In a nation where registered Dems vastly out number Republicans, this is a Titanic shift.
