The US is not a dictatorship and the president (whoever he is, was, or will be) doesn't do or cause anything alone or in a vacuum. It's immature, irresponsible, and totally unproductive to solely blame the person elected to fill the leadership position for things that we all participated in corrupting. When a project is successful, the leader looks good - but the entire group contributed to the results... AND when a project fails, the leader looks bad - but the entire group contributed to the results... Why don't you try driving a car with someone else controlling the accelerator and someone else controlling the brake, all while encountering other cars being driven by someone who is not the one controlling the accelerator and brakes. There's going to be chaos and catastrophes and who's fault will it be - the one with his hands on the wheel???? Another News Flash: everything the press "states" is not necessarily true or the entire truth. Weapons capable of mass destruction and components of WMDs were found in Iraq, and are also known to have been moved to Syria and to Iran. There are plenty of dead people who wouldn't be dead if that were not true. The people there don't know how to do anything but Hate - they hate anyone who doesn't agree with them and/or support them in their hatred. We, on the other hand, have the freedom to disagree, and up to this point that has been conducted with some level of expected "civility". Otherwise we will become just like them - people who can't do anything but Hate and teach our children to hate. to all of you fixated on blaming President Bush for any and everything… news flash * we have a house and senate, full of both democrats and republicans, that fully participate (or don’t) in governing our democracy.

I believe this could be true, but my issue is when we communicate,we must be able to trust the people we are communicating with. Since I like a lot of others have lost trust,in the past actions of our government and their friends, but not hope in their future actions, how can we believe their communications with us. We need to pray people. That is where my hope is coming from.

Bob is right on with his comments regarding one aspect. To totally blame the financial issues on George Bush is a case of being uninformed. (Also for Euclid to say George Bush was behind 9/11 is absurd.) The stress caused by the divisiveness within our own country is what will affect the condition of people's hearts. While we are diverse in our perspectives, for us to blame one person contributes to the divisiveness. There are many reasons for the financial situation in which we find ourselves.

Its a proven fact that George Bush has been greasing the bank accounts of the Corporate rich at the expense of the middle class.All our lumber and paper mills in Canada are gone because Bush made an agreement with his corporate Gangsters to buy paper and lumber from Brazi, so they can all make a bigger profit. Think of it,......low wages, no pension plans, no benefits to pay for etc, etc.I could fill a book about this man and his corporate friends.When you see him ask him where his friend Kenny boy Lay is.

Borrowers asked for more money than they could afford. Banks did not look at the applications to verify the income to support these mortgages. If someone stupid asks for something and a less brilliant person gives it to them, who is at fault??? Why cann’t we take responsibilty for our actions?

If you are Christian... then Thou Shalt Not Kill... is a commandment... any Christian who voted for the war ie... Bush should really think about what they have done.. how many innocent people have died because of this decision. Yes, heart attack will be abundant amongst those whose heart has been closed to love and caring.
