America, I need to give you more credit

Holy cow. This is some great, heartening news out this morning. Check out this story from Yahoo! News today: Voters blame Bush more than Obama for the economy. "Voters are increasingly displeased with President Obama's handling of the economy, but a new poll finds most Americans still think George W. Bush is responsible for the nation's dismal financial state. According to a new Quinnipiac poll, 54 percent of those surveyed say Bush is responsible for the "current condition" of the economy, compared to just 27 percent who blame Obama. Among self-described independent voters, a key 2012 voting bloc, the number shifts slightly: 49 percent point the finger at the former GOP president, while 24 percent blame Obama." But here's where it gets really good: "...the Quinnipiac poll finds more Americans trust the president on the issue than the GOP congress, 45 percent to 38 percent. Meanwhile, 48 percent of those surveyed say they will blame the GOP congress if a debt deal isn't approved, compared to 34 percent who say they will blame the Obama administration." And of course, by gosh, they're right. I just didn't think they "got it". Good on you, America. You've renewed my faith in you and hope for the country, if even just a bit.
