It wasn't just a speech. It was a promised return for a large chunk of the nation's future wealth.
I think Bush and his party were held responsible for acting on wrong intelligence and Obama should be held responsible too.
I think the question going forward is who will do a better job in the next 4 years. Obama's past performance and future vision are both relevant. If Romney or another runs against him they will be held to the same standard.

No they won't, US elections aren't about records or ideas, they're about ideals , religion and smear campaigns. That's why the US finds itself in a bad position, because the concept of doing what's right for the country and its citizens has fallen behind doing what's best for your political career.
