MADISON, Wis. (Reuters) - A year after his historic election, President Barack Obama sought to remind Americans on Wednesday the biggest problems he is grappling with -- from the economy to the war in Afghanistan -- are the legacy of his predecessor, George W. Bush. With his approval ratings down from once-lofty levels and Tuesday's Democratic election losses raising questions about his political clout, Obama held no special ceremony to mark the anniversary of his election as America's first black president.

Uh, Reuters, yes he did and you just mentioned it. He went to Madison after a night of watching an HBO documentary, ABOUT HIMSELF, while his Democrat Rome burned and made a speech marking his one year anniversary of his election by claiming all problems are due to Bush.

Here’s a question I’d like to see a WH presstitute — Jake Tapper maybe? — ask Gibbs:

“You say all of Bambi’s — excuse me, I mean President Obama’s — troubles are because of George Bush. Please tell us, then, precisely when the results of Ba... er, Obama’s presidency will be his OWN responsibility?”

On the flip side, BHO only has to pose for three more years. He will probably be relieved when he’s finally voted out.

Your job Obozo is to quit griping about the past. You are a foolish whiner.

You are not a man, you are a baby who is still pooping his little pants because all those other folks left you with the job of being a leader. Life ain’t perfect and you Obozo, are no exception.

You are supposed to be a leader. You have no qualities of a leader.

Go away little boy and grow up. People are laughing at you and that is dangerous.

Yes, I agree.

He is likely kicking himself for the bad luck of wining the election.

He wanted to only be a contender, not the winner. His dream was to be able to say, “Lord, dodged that bullet”. What it wasn’t to be, instead we all have to suffer for it.

The Head Line should have been “Why Rush Calls Obama the Man-Child President”

“We had record deficits, two wars, frayed alliances around the world,” Obama added.

Now we have astronomical record deficits and frayed alliances around the world courtesy of the Zero.

By the way Zero that is one war two battles, one of which the Bush administration won and one of which your administration is trying to lose.

If he is indimidated by the scope of the problems caused by Bush, just think of the next president that will have to come in and pick up Obama’s mess.
