For a while there, when President Obama was riding high off the passing of the Porkulus plan, and his narrow house victory on Cap and Trade, he backed off his standard excuse for each of the nation's problems; "Bush, Bush,Bush, Bush,Bush, Bush!"
That was before unemployment got up to 9.5%, America discovered that the stimulus plan did not involve "shovel-ready" projects, and the President was pushing a Health Care plan that was nothing more than another attempt at redistributing `income and a new attempt at euthanizing old people.
Now that America is realizing that the "Emperor has no clothes" Obama has returned to the tried and true; "Bush, Bush,Bush, Bush,Bush, Bush!"
Last Thursday's press conference saw Obama blaming Bush at least nine times, on third of them had the President complaining that he "inherited" a $1.3 trillion debt that has set back his administration's efforts to fix the economy. Of course he neglected to mention that in the first four months of his tenure he raised the $1.3 to over $2 trillion, a feat unmatched in the history of the US economy.

Be assured that come the elections of 2012, Barry will be still using Bush as an excuse/crutch. He will invariably be crucified for such....I just hope I am watching that particular debate when it happens.
BO is such a pathetic little character. His Bush mentions must’ve been ad libbed w/o the use of the telepromter. His people should know better than to continue the finger pointing at this late stage in the BO Atrocity er, uh Presidency.
Bush and Cheney's fault!
Let's not forget that a huge reason he inherited this debt from his predecessor is because Bush inherited this from his predecessor.
And in spite of inheriting this and the tech bubble burst, Bush and the GOP were on their way to reducing that deficit until Americans voted for change in Nov. 2006.
Heh, somehow, I don’t think George W. Bush will be quaking in his boots at anything Obama has to say.
