Why does everybody seem to blame Bush for the current economic crisis? Can anybody else but me see who is really to blame?

I don't have a crystal ball so I have absolutely no idea what it is that you think you're seeing that the rest of us isn't. However, the reality of it is that the problem has been brewing for many years due to deregulation; Bush has only accelerated & exacerbated the problem and squandered our money like it's sugarcandy in a playground. And, make no mistake, under Bush, the country has been for sale, or rather given away, to any corporation that wanted a piece of it

Obama? *cough*

Who else is there to blame & as the the president you get to take credit for the good & blame for the bad!

Barney Frank, Chris Dodds are a good place to start

That's the nature of the business. Presidents get the blame when things go badly and they get the credit when things go well. In either case, the credit/criticism is often unfairly given. In all fairness, the banking crisis was probably set in motion before Bush but he failed to see the impending crash and act accordingly.
