I don't understand why anyone would blame the Democrats. Maybe if the votes were reversed. It seems like Bush did well getting the support of so many Democrats.

Although the president was for passing the bill, Is it possible that the bill was flawed or just needed more work? The combined 228 republicans and democrats who voted against it apparently thought so.
Why has this turned into a partisan blame game? It looks to me like a bipartisan majority of 228 "Americans" came together to do what they believed was right.
