It really falls heavily on both sides. Many democrats supported the Iraq war which has contributed to putting us in the crapper. Barney Frank was the man who wanted everyone, whether they could afford a house or not, be able to get a loan to buy a house and now look where we are. So to blame it all on Bush is a little naive. And if Obama "is not a savior" but is "definitely the runner up" then you admit you are putting him in the class of Jesus Christ. Open your eyes and stop being so partisan. Your savior has already begun to lie to you and will have bankrupt the country by spending way more money than we have. He keeps saying he inherited this deficit but with his stimulus packages he will have spent more money than the Iraq and Afgahnastan wars and hurrican Katrina cost the country.
