Obama's new strategy: Blaming Bush for 'mess' (after Obama waste $1.3 trillion taxpayer's money)
msnbc ^ | 3/13/2009 | Scott Wilson

Posted on 03/14/2009 6:00:30 AM PDT by tobyhill

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.

Over the past month, Obama has reminded the public at every turn that he is facing problems "inherited" from the Bush administration, using increasingly bracing language to describe the challenges his administration is up against. The "deepening economic crisis" that the president described six days after taking office became "a big mess" in remarks this month to graduating police cadets in Columbus, Ohio.

Well, I think it's time we look at the good news.

Obama has collected over $150,000 in back taxes in his first 50 days.

Of course, that was just from within his administration....

NO! The DhimmiRat LibTards, under the questionable leadership of the anointed one, OWN THIS DEBACLE. They, and they alone, are responsible for bankrupting the US for generations to come. All in the name of advancing the socialist agenda.

It’s time to take back the country.

I think we all expected this

Now, how much longer will the people believe the buck stopped in 2008, on the white guy’s desk?

And how much longer will the press dutifully report such statements as “news”?

But, he hasn’t held his breath and stomped his feet yet...I can’t believe he is going straight for “blame Bush.”

Dude...just put down the “raise taxes crack pipe and step away from other peoples money.” All he has to do is say, Bush taxes will be frozen until 2012 — the market will immediately rebound — Duh, for a smart guy he is pretty “F’n” stupid.

Oh Yeah, when Øbama signed the Omnibus spending bill he referred to it as ‘unfinished business’, which his delusional masses will believe, as the few of us informed know it is a Democrat majority Congress with a Democrat President passing that feces

I guess to Obama, unemployment at 8.4% is better than 7.2%. On his watch alone he lost over 3 million jobs.

If I’m not mistaken, the ‘deficit’ for 2008, the last year Bush had total control, was $414 Billion.

How can Obama claim that this $1.4 TRILLION deficit for 2009 is Bush’s fault.

The way I understand it, Bush could only suggest the 2009 budget, and the Democratic Congress finalizes the actual appropriations and spending bills.
