Ugh, this old chestnut again. It seems like every time somebody happens to spit in Bush's general direction everybody is up in arms about how he deserves it. Its like all the children on the playground ganging up on the teacher that told them recess is over, he doesn't really have any power over the situation yet everybody resents him for it. When you get right down to it the president has very little power in the U.S political system, to be honest I'm suprised he can blow his nose without congressional approval and a curt nod from the supreme court.
But when the metephorical shit hits the wall the people don't want to take responsibility for their actions they need to blame someone else. So they blame the person with the most percieved power.
That said, if you want to throw a shoe at somebody try the next person you see that was of voting age in 2000, anybody that votes split ticket, or perhapse, if you feeling particularly adventurous, youself.
