This is why it was nearly impossible to discuss things politique during the 
last administration.  Any raising of objection to mindless Bush-bashing was 
assumed to be the same thing as endorsing Bush.  In fact it was the only 
actual come-back to attempts to point to other sources of our problems than 
Bush.

Likewise the phenomenon now of days is that any questioning of the St. 
Obama effect is assumed to be a statement that one is against Obama.

Obama and Bush have in common that they are more or less irrelevant.  The 
economic reality we are dealing with is of our own collective making.  It was 
what I said all during the Bush-bashing years, it's my story and I'm 
sticking to it.
