regardless of my opinion on the President, one thing is apparent... we all (Americans) share the 'blame', if indeed there is any to be shared...
to ignore this fact is obviously flawed and deluded 'thinking'...

I don't see where the flawed logic is. Reagan famously asked the American people, when he ran against Carter, 'are you better off now than you were four years ago?', and the article simply asks the same questions while attempting to proffer some answers to them. Whether or not the American people are somehow to blame is a separate question and different debate; in fact, logically, before you could even raise this second question you have to ask and answer the first: Is George W. Bush the worst president in 100 years?
