But keep blaming Bush...it's the answer to everything

No, I don't think you are naive.

Our 1.2 trillion deficit increase didn't come from Bush "revitalizing" the military and intelligence agencies.

And Bush indeed holds a hell of alot of blame for the lousy financial condition he left our country in, because BUSH RECKLESSLY SPENT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE DIDN'T HAVE

(with full acknowledgement of what Clinton contributed to the financial markets).

Bush also ruined the Republican political reputation and brand, and has help render the GOP a dwindling numbers, small-tent party of the rural south.

1.2 trill can be laid at Bushs feet....maybe. Obamas mess is at around 13 trillion now. Obama campaigned on ridiculous Hope and Change scenarios that only the foolish would have bet on coming to fruition.
