Who To Blame for Economy?

Up until now we've been seeing the MSM tout polls that show that a majority of Americans blame the bad economy on George W. Bush.  This has always struck me as implausible.  I talk to alot of people about the economy and nobody ever says it is GWB's fault.  I get alot of different answers but hardly ever, GWB.  So, I've known that the blame, in people's minds, lies elsewhere, so I've just been waiting for the MSM to report it.  I assumed that they never would, given that we are in the runup to the election and they must save their Lightworker President.

Alas...
Two-thirds of likely voters say the weak economy is Washington’s fault, and more blame President Obama than anybody else, according to a new poll for The Hill.
It found that 66 percent believe paltry job growth and slow economic recovery is the result of bad policy. Thirty-four percent say Obama is the most to blame, followed by 23 percent who say Congress is the culprit. Twenty percent point the finger at Wall Street, and 18 percent cite former President George W. Bush.
The results highlight the reelection challenge Obama faces amid dissatisfaction with his first-term performance on the economy.
Granted The Hill is not the MSM, but it is a start.
