Public Opinion: Is Nancy Pelosi Correct in Calling President George W. Bush a 'Total Failure?'
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, told CNN that President George W. Bush was "a total failure" and that he had lost "all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject." White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said that Pelosi was frustrated by the Congress's inability to pass any spending bills. Who is correct? Is Bush a "total failure?" Or is Congress falling down on the job? Post your thoughts below.

economic crisis
George W. Bush is directly responsible for the economic crisis we are undergoing. It is my firm opinion that all ex-government officials should not be granted the benefits after leaving office. They should have to join the job market like the rest of the US citizens.
She needs to get out of office
Bush had to live with the Carter Community Reinvestment Act and other such poor credit handouts. Clinton's reinterpreted version of it. And it falls on it's face during Bushes watch.
Pelsoi has common ground with Obama. If it's bad for America it's good blaming ammunition to sling at Republicans.
But she is just too reckless with her office.
Bush and Pelosi
On Pelosi:
I asked one of my Democrat friends today to name ONE thing that Pelosi has accomplished. He couldn't. She talks a good story, but I don't see anything come of it. And I don't blame her lack of progress on Bush. She is simply ineffective as a leader.
On Bush:
He is simply an embarrasment to the United States. I can't fathom how someone so incompetent could make it into the White House. His dad, on the other hand was savvy and knew how to run a country.
I'm independent and my attitude is put the best person in office to get the job done. Right now, it seems all we have are crooks, good 'ole boys, and incompetents in the government, each who want to maintain their status quo.
And before we start crowing about the great progress in Iraq, take a step back and look at the disaster of an economy that we currently have. Don't take my word for it - check your 401K and see if there is any money left in it. Seems we are so one-dimensional these days, we can only focus on one problem at a time. Oh yeah, not to worry. Bush recently said the economy is "solid".
