Faithful: Yes, I know that, but the strident among us will not likely acknowledge this. Instead, when a problem comes up, it will likely be related to something that happened in the last eight years and therefore Bush's fault no matter what, or an excuse will be made why something is happening.
cogadh: You mean like W has tried to do with every one of his problems? The economy - the fault of Clinton's push to open up mortgages; 9/11 and the mid-East wars - Clinton failed to act on early (unreliable) intelligence; immigration - Clinton relaxed immigration standards. The fact is, every administration tries to blame their problems on whatever mess the previous administration left behind. The difference this time is Obama is starting his administration on the positive note of "yes, things are broken, who broke it doesn't matter, what matters is we need to fix it".
