Know Your Scapegoats:George Bush - Ninety Percenter
Sort of.
Romney really needs to be referring to the debt as “The Obama Debt.” Obama has been shirking responsibility for the matter, all the while throwing around trillions of dollars without so much as a single budget passed during his entire time in office.
That’s an embarassing failure of leadership, duty, and maturity, for that mattter.
It blows my mind that at a time when millions of Americans had to tighten their belts, re-evaluate their budgets, cut their credit card debts, and refinance their homes that Obama hasn’t been hit MUCH harder for this than he has.
Make him wear the debt yolk he strapped around the country. And promise basic essentials like, heaven forbid, a budget.
Didn’t Obama recently say “The buck stops with you.”?
By continually blaming George Bush for his own failures, Obama has appointed him Cause, and has assumed the position of Effect himself. In effect, he is telling the American people that he is inept, incompetent, weak, disabled, powerless, defenseless, broken, and hapless, as a president.
It's the most fundamental error he could make. Even those who can't process this analytically, will react viscerally to his abdication of basic responsibility.
As the author notes, he doesn't get the concept of the buck stopping at the president's desk. Americans don't like failures and losers. Obama couldn't have chosen a worse possible re-election strategy.

I think "the rule" should also apply to the The Washington Times' Emily Miller.
Paul Ryan took issue with that point of view during a joint event with Mitt Romney in Ohio on Tuesday. Why do we send presidents to Washington in the first place? asked the Wisconsin Republican. Dont we send them to fix the mess in Washington? Look, if he cant change Washington, then we need to change presidents.
We own this country Politicians are employees of ours
And when somebody does not do the job,
.. weve got to let them go
I think he prefers to "Pass the Hat".
