...it's not that deep, dude.

At no point in the show does it even remotely make the implication that the pandemic got out of control or FEDRA started killing people because George Bush was in office. Maybe I could understand your gripe if there was a scene with Donald Rumsfeld talking about "known unknowns" at a press conference before being attacked by infected, but that's clearly not the case.
