Certain things are not his fault: the unprecedented truculence of the Republican Party, scared silly by right-wing ranters on cable television; the unholy economic and foreign-policy mess that he inherited; the fact that he never had, as so many liberal commentators asserted, the 60 (or 58 or 59) Senate votes that would enable him to get what he wanted from the Congress. It’s not his fault that unemployment rates remain stubbornly high following a traumatic recession.
Unprecedented truculence? Where was this twit when the Dem minority was trying to obstruct Bush's agenda at every turn? And the Dem caucus does have 60 votes. And it IS his fault (and that of the Dems) that unemployment REMAINS high, because their massive legislative agenda scares the crap out of small business owners and corporations alike.
And about all this lame essay does is confirm that those 'right-wing ranters' that she decries were right all along about Obama - he's just a Chicago hack politician, just a bit smoother than the others.
Obama’s incompetence is Bush’s fault.
