Obama's New Tack: Blaming Bush
washingtonpost ^ | Saturday, March 14,

Posted on 03/14/2009 12:00:31 AM PDT by JoeProBono

In his inaugural address, President Obama proclaimed "an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics." It hasn't taken long for the recriminations to return -- or for the Obama administration to begin talking about the unwelcome "inheritance" of its predecessor.

Obams inherited this economy from the Democrat Congress, of which he was a part of. They inherited 4.5% unemployment and DOW 12,000-14,000 from the GOP WH, House, and Senate.

Oh, and part of the reason Obama inherited this mess from his predecessor, is because Bush inherited this mess from his predecessor. So much for short memories, Mr. Emanuel.

Obie, you knew what you were getting into when you applied for the job. Shut up, stop whining, and get the job done.

Kind of like calling an electrician and telling him your wiring is all messed up. He say, sure I can do it. When he shows up he says, “Oh, no! Your wiring is all messed up. This is going to be really hard to fix!”

It’s not Bush’s fault anymore, It’s Obama’s community organizing that’s at fault.

Obama’s philosophy:
When you don’t know what your doing, blame someone else. If something turns out OK, take all the credit.

Not to mention a wad of Skoal under her lower lip.

Very true. Even when President Bush is gracious towards Senator Byrd..

Not only was W gracious toward Byrd, but, President Bush & Laura were way beyond gracious to that contemptuous pair that are now living and partying in our WH! Grace and class are something that the Bushes have in abundance...this slyster, his graceless wife, his cabinet, and his entire administration have zero, not an ounce amongst the lot of them!!!

Is it not totally unbelievable that along with that heavily air brushed photo of that ugly woman on the current cover of Vanity Fair, they have the caption, "A first Lady we have been waiting for"... WTF?!?!?

The electorate is ignorant. The average person does not know what's written in the Constitution, current events, nor even understands the basic mechanisms by which our government runs. Ignorant people are easily led by the nose.

Obama is a rock star with groupies and those that idol warship him. I'm shocked that they don't have life size posters yet of him so that people can put up in their rooms. From girls fainting, national conventions that were nothing more than a music concerts and shows devoid of any substance, to his pretty suits and big white teeth and slender figure which he showed off during the campaign, Obama is nothing more than the Brittany Spears of politics.

Because the electorate is ignorant, the fact that the Democrats have had the financial reigns in their hands goes unnoticed and Obama can blame a previous administration that was more or less going along since 2006 with whatever this Congress was putting in front of him. Obama is getting a "free pass" on both the state of the economy and spending because he can appeal to ignorance. Of course the "so called" watch dog of the government treats him like the messiah and feel compelled to act as a sort of unofficial press agent for the Obama administration. His popularity, novelty, the ideological leaning, and the political symbolism of what Obama stands for is so overpowering for the media that they have near zero objectivity.

Democrats have no new ideas, just old accusations. They always fail miserably when they are without a “boogeyman” to rail against. Soon the sheeple will come to regard the current recession as Obama’s Problem To Solve not just Bush’s Failure. At that point we will begin re-living 1978. Carter “inheirted” Ford’s Win-Button economic mess and managed to be blamed, not for starting the recession but for worsening it!

Uh...no. You can’t miss the damned “leftist magazine covers” glaring back at you if you buy groceries...the check-out stands are loaded with them! You must leave that task to your better half.
