Eleanor Clift: Obama's Poll Numbers Down Because He Hasn't Blamed Bush Enough By Noel Sheppard Created 07/14/2010 - 11:19
After the release of a number of polls Tuesday showing President Obama's favorability rating plummeting, his minions in the media were out in force trying to blame the slide on something or someone else.
Newsweek's Eleanor Clift, ever the dutiful shill always at a Democrat's service when the chips are down, took [1] a predictably absurd tack: Obama hasn't blamed George W. Bush enough for all that ails the nation.
"Obama hasn’t done as good a job as Reagan of blaming his predecessor," wrote Clift after sharing some of Obama's dismal poll numbers.
For our sins Clift elaborated:
Jimmy Carter for years served as the GOP’s version of Herbert Hoover while Obama let George W. Bush slip away into the ether, a former president so invisible that he might as well be in a witness-protection program. Bush’s upcoming book, Decision Points, won’t be released until a week after the November election, reinforcing the GOP’s decision to keep the unpopular president out of the mix in the midterms.
Readers are reminded that another Democrat media shill Bill Press told [1] his radio listeners Tuesday that Obama's declining poll numbers were due to Americans being spoiled, impatient children.
What do we learn from this?
That no matter what the current president does, and no matter what happens to the economy, in Iraq, in the Gulf of Mexico, or anywhere on the planet, Obama has media minions that will quickly be out in force trying to deflect blame from him without regard to facts or reason.
After all, as it pertains to Clift's argument, there likely hasn't been an administration in history that has spent more time blaming the country's problems on the previous president.
To suggest otherwise is what Hillary Clinton would say requires a willing suspension of disbelief.
But Clift knows her role, and she plays it well.
Of course, the magazine she writes for is in terrible financial condition desperately looking for a suitor to save it from extinction, but that's beside the point.
Despite the inanity in her position, Clift must be given an "A" for tossing such nonsense at her readers with a clear conscience and a straight face.
That is certainly something she can always be counted on for.
“Obama hasn’t done as good a job as Reagan of blaming his predecessor,”
WHAT MORE CAN OBAMA DO? OTHER THAN BLAME BUSH EVERY 2 MINUTES!
Wonder which one's Eleanor?
Elanor Clift, hater, still has her presidential kneepads in good repair.
I had forgotten all about her.
Oh yeah that is going to work. It is as if Obama hasn’t been spending like a man with a stolen credit card.
The further these people drift away from God.....the more insane they become.
This disgusting, vicious old liberal Democrat Hag is the first runner up to Helen Thomas in the ugly leftist pageant.
Reagan did one thing different. He improved everything. The exact opposite is happening now. Its getting worse and America feels it.
The old blame Bush is as old and tired as Eleanor Clift is.
She isn’t even creative; just a tired old has been mouthpiece.
These peoples brains would probably explode if they ever really thought about anything.
Another lib bimbo.
Perfect fit for the MSM.
Clift was already nuts decades ago.
Little Susie's cat in a tree? My fault.
Black ants in Paul's crackers? My fault.
Then he needs to shift the blame to the administration of a former President.
But as much as I take responsibility for these things, it's really the fault of the administration of Ulysses S. Grant. So the next time you hear "It's Bush's fault", you can be assured that it was Grant's fault"
Ridicule will end this nonsense faster than trying to fight it.
Eleanor, dopey as ever.
Reagan didn't blame Carter after the election, he fixed the economic problems, won the cold war and restored global American superiority.
Obama golfs and whines, while his handlers make every problem he "inherited" far worse, either through incompetence or intentional malice towards this nation.
This stuff is so "out there" that no ridicule from our side is necessary. Let 'em keep it up, the more the better.
