I’m not just talking about blame for things outside the president’s
control, although that’s part of it. Someone who shares the same office
with me spews forth constant invective against Bush on a level that
rivals Saul’s paranoia about and hatred for David.

It’s not just blame. It’s the level of vitriol and the paranoia,
thinking that Bush is leading the charge in a new crusade, Bush is
transforming the United States into a theocracy, Bush is making the
U.S. a police state, and so on.

You can blame Bush for Iraq, that is fair.

However I think the author is referring to thing that Bush was blamed for like Hurricane Katrina.

You are right Kyle, every President is blamed and gets credit for things that really aren't their doing.

Also the author is right on Christians. While questioning the government may be ok, it needs to not become a personal attack. Unfortunately, too many Christians will sell out and become something they are not supposed to be.

I think that’s pretty much par for the course for presidents. I really don’t think it was any different for the first Clinton…or Bush I…or Reagan…or Carter (the only reason he lost his re-election bid was that the American hostages in Iran hadn’t been freed yet).

And let’s not forget the beating Hoover took for the depression which, to be entirely fair, really wasn’t his fault.

Sorry, but the way Bush has been treated is hardly something new. And
let’s not forget how many things really ARE directly his fault.
*cough*Iraq fiasco*cough*
