Who do you blame when things go bad in this country?

Neither, it's those behind the curtain that are the real shot callers who bought out our politicans with bribes, deception, and extortion. Politicians in the United States knows what happens if they don't go along with corruption which is they could die so they sold out unwilling to be martyrs for something righteous. The President, the Congress, and the Senate are all puppets who do the bidding of those pulling strings. The power they supposedly have has been an illusion since 1913 by hidden oligarchs who want a one world socialist totalitarian government.

I blame the policies. Like bad tax laws that discourage re-investment in America.

Lex Luthor.

What's the significance of starting at 2007?

This, kids, is what we call 'framing'.

I blame the gun, a you tube video, lack of funding, global warming, Bush, or we didn't get our message out.

Politicians and those who purchase them.
