Last time I checked, politicians don't get a "pass" because things were worse than they expected. Bush certainly didn't.
Really? Actually, I think it is impossible to argue it has been anything one way or the other, as the actual effect of the stimulus most certainly won't be known for a long time, likely years. There is no possible way you can substantiate a claim that it "has been anything but a failure" at this point in time.

And pointing out that Bush has a high degree of fault for our state of affairs isn't an "excuse" so much as a fact.
