By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

He's gone, but unfortunately for Republicans, former President George W. Bush isn't forgotten by many. The new bipartisan Battleground Poll finds that a majority of Americans think the GOP is blocking Obama-style change and "supporting Bush policies."

yes it is

It is unbecoming of a group that allowed THEIR elected president to totally disregard the Constitution and OUR rights, to dog every little thing OUR president does.

America could make a lot more headway if people were NOT so hung up on the color of OUR president's skin. Get over it, it does not wash off, and regarding of your beliefs, the color of one's skin ONLY effects those who have a problem with it and not the rest of us.

G. W. BUSH

I'M SO TIRED OF BARRY BLAMING BUSH FOR EVERYTHING. DIDN'T BARRY VOTE FOR BUSH'S STIMULUS. DIDN'T BARRY TAKE CONTROL OF50% OF THE MONEY THAT BUSH GOT. DIDN'T BARRY SIT IN THE SENATE FOR 2 YRS. WHAT DID HE DO FOR 2 YEARS. NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING THAT HE DID. HE DID VOTE AGAINST ANY INSURANCE PLAN THE REPUBLICANS TRIED TO HAVE PASSED. YOU MUST REMEMBER IT WAS THE DEMOCRATS, BARNEY FRANK, DODD, PELOSI WHO CONTROLLED CONGRESS FOR THE LAST 2 YRS OF BUSH'S PRESIDENTCY. SO, THE WAY I SEE IT, BARRY IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. BE A MAN AND ADMIT IT BARRY, THE JOB IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU. YOU'RE STARTING TO SEND YOU UNION GOONS OUT INTO THE STREET TO ROUGH UP AMERICAN CITIZENS. YOU THINK YOU ARE STILL IN CHICAGO. BARRY, WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE PLAN YOU AND MICHELE COOKED UP IN CHICAGO. THE HOSPITAL SHE WORKED OUT KICKED OUT POOR AND HOMELESS PEOPLE AFTER GETTING ALL KINDS OF FED. $ TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PEOPLE. TELL

THE STORY OF THE 12 YR OLD BOY MAULED BY A PIT BULL. THEY GAVE HIM A SHOT AND SENT HIM HOME. THEY TOLD HIS MOTHER THAT HE DIDN'T NEED ANY OTHER CARE. HE WOULD BE ALRIGHT. HIS MOTHER RUSHED HIM TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL ONE HOUR AWAY. WHEN THE CHILD GOT THERE THEY IMMEDIATELY ADMITTED HIM AND DID EMERGENCY SURGERY ON HIM. MAYBE YOU ARE ALREADY PRACTICING OBAMA HEALTH CARE IN CHICAGO. I GUESS THIS CHILD WASN'T WORTH ENOUGH TO TREAT HIM PROPERLY. JUST SEND HIM HOME AND TAKE 2 ASPIRINS.

Obama Critizing Bush

It is very unbecoming for the President to constantly critize his predecessor. It makes him look like a small man and frankly, it shows no class.
