But if you want to make it a Bush thing, let's be honest a big part of the reason we're in this situation is due to his administration.

Sorry, Obama will always have ties to Bush, just like Clinton had to Bush...and you were pretty darn harsh on Bush, but awfully leinant on Obama...so yes, when you complained harshly about Bush's economic state, and his then "high unemployment rate", why would anyone think not to compare. If you were silent on that subject in the past, there would be no comparison now. You can't just say whatever you want and not be called on it when the guy you voted in is doing next to nothing. (which is no surprise given his lack of experience) The fact that you defend such a horrible unemployment rate and kind of pass it off, well we both know that would not be happening if this was even McCain.
