Well then you are one of the few that get it here. We tend to have the need to place a single face on our problems. It's easier to vilify an individual rather than three entire branches of government. Even the presidency itself is made up of groups of cabinet members and staff.

Shouldn't we be doing that now with a Democratic majority in Congress? mmkay. When are we going to take the blinders of party loyalty off?
For me, it's not about party. For most people it is though. Since most people fixate on the president and falsely assume he has total control over the economy, you won't see the conservatives bitching until Obama gets the presidency (if he does).
My reasons for despising Bush mostly have to do with his croneyism and his complete lack of fiscal conservatism.
