As you said, most public opinion blames Bush. And rightly so. You ask what's President Obama excuse is now?
He has to PAY for the two wars Bush started.
Obama was worse than Bush. I can't say Bush helped the economy, but no way Obama is.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
