This is an interesting chart, and you can poke a lot of holes in it in various spots, but it is more or less correct.  And while the s***-storm began coming down during President George W. Bush's last year in office, and may indeed have been aggravated by his actions and policies, we all know, ineluctably, that the bulk of the blame is apportioned—whether it makes sense or not—on the President upon whose watch said s***-storm finally came down, whether he really he had anything to do with it or not.

President Obama is on track to raise about $1 billion dollars in campaign contributions.  It will be interesting to see if even that war chest can deflect the ugly mood out there in America.
