Outrageous ad seen.

I just saw an ad, it was one of the google adds at the bottom of the forums.

It asks "Economic Crisis, who's to blame"

Then it has a picture of Bush, President Obama, and Speaker of the House Pelosi.

It is ridiculous, and a first salvo to blame the Bush economic failure on President Obama, and the Democrats.

Remembering the truth of the melt down, the thefts, and the other things from 2000-2008 is essential. There will be a history rewrite attempt.

1. I might have clicked on the link, and accused them of fraud...

...because as we all know, it was Bush who failed to regulate the financial institutions. It started with Reagan, and progressed along until Dumbya came along, then, kaput!

3. No, it's an attempt to gain traffic

popping three famous pols into one ad means you can run the same graphic on multiple sites, whereas 'Think Bush is blame? Click here!' might work well on DU but not on FR. It's just about money, not propaganda. Those 'poll' ads are just designed to attract web surfers who think voting in an online poll is going to affect something. There's whole sites (sodahead being the most obvious) consisting of endless polls because some people like to vote in polls. If I remember correctly they started out with 'Pepsi or coke?' or some similar but equally meaningless question.
