I wish to nominate this fellow:

Once he has received sufficient votes, we shall have him promptly deported, and then we can all confidently return to spending money that doesn't exist.

6 years Republicans ran all three branches and Bush refused to Veto, refused Oversite and refused any Accountability and left this country in the mess it is in. Guess who is my number one?

Bill Clinton?!?
But he paid off some of the debt! If this crisis had come right after Clinton's term ended, we'd be able to 'afford' this stimulus and more. Then we'd be better off then we started(if it works)

Time Magazine is actually going to let readers vote on something like this?
They should know very well that the general public has *no* clue who to blame, and they'll just go for popular and well-known politicians that they don't like.
Waste of an article if you ask me.
P.S. I'm back. I was *coerced* into taking a 3-day holiday from the board ;)

They have the actual list they feel are responsible in the current print issue. This reader vote thing is just a promo stunt on the web to promote the print version.
So while its obvious you did not read the article, you are correct to assume this list is nothing more then entertainment.
