The era of 'blame Bush' for Obama is over

With President Barack Obama's decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan by sending 30,000 additional troops to battle Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, he has put his imprint on the war on terror, and at the same time, given up the Democrats' most famous fallback position: blame George W. Bush.
Couple that with the economy and we are seeing the end of the president's first year in office coincide with him having to accept the full responsibility for the condition of the country.
Obama rode into office on the "blame Bush" tidal wave as the nation sickened of everything he touched. The economy? Bush was horrible at stewarding it. Giving banks billions in TARP funds? Dumb idea by Bush and Treasury Secretary Hank "Mr. Wall Street" Paulson. Sick of billions going to the war? It was all the fault of Bush and his chief crony, Vice President Dick Cheney.
The blame Bush mantra proved effective because it totally silenced Republicans, who were loathe to defend a conservative president who began with a surplus and ended with a deficit, as well as the architect of a war in Iraq based on never-proven claims of weapons of mass destruction. They couldn't even muster the strength to call him a conservative.

Of course you, just like the far left, favored Obama over McCain.
Point to the statement where I endorsed Obama for president.
'death2tyrants' is unable to do so, as they are a proven liar and spew out false accusations without even trying to prove what they are saying. That babbling fool accused ME of being a Ron Paul supporter but when challenged to find ANY posts where I supported Ron Paul, there was nothing but crickets to be heard.
Though, in your mind, ['death2tyrants' "mind", whatever passes for it, mkj],merely refusing to support McCain must constitute an endorsement of Obama.
I held my nose and pulled the lever for the GOP last year, but I wasn't voting so much for McInsane, as I was voting FOR Sarah Palin. Had McCain won the election, we might have seen much of the same liberal madness going on as we're seeing right now, but we would also have Vice President Sarah Palin in there at least providing some balance to McCain's RINO positions (not to mention her serving as President of the Senate as needed), and I doubt we would see the pack of Communist 'czars' and their thugs being appointed to positions in the Executive Branch as we are right now.

'death2tyrants' is unable to do soHey, you followed me over to this thread? Well, I'm flattered. I must have really struck a nerve for you to stalk me.
as they are a proven liar
One of the fist steps of therapy is admitting that you have a problem. You're not going to be able to confront your BDS until you first admit that you are indeed suffering from BDS. By calling me a liar, you are demonstrating that you're still in denial about your BDS, which is saddening. I hope you can someday take that first step and admit it.
accused ME of being a Ron Paul supporter but when challenged to find ANY posts
Yes, that is my diagnosis. You have all the symptoms of a Paulista. Your quick temper, your childish personal attacks, and your BDS. I was hoping my diagnosis was wrong, but unfortunately it turned out to be correct, when I found this picture of you on the internet:

No you idiot, I was pinged to this thread. And "there you go again", lying about me, this time accusing me of stalking you when all you had to do was look at the post I was responding to and note the fact that I was *PINGED* to that post. WTF is wrong with you? Wake up and pay attention before you start spewing your lies, that's all you've got, is one lie after another and they're not even EFFECTIVE lies.

Classic projection. Instead of admitting that you do nothing but lie, and pile lies on top of lies, you accuse others of having a need for 'therapy'. And you once more hide behind the acronym 'BDS' because you are incapable of facing your OWN psychological problems, the premiere problem being that you lie with impunity and apparently think you can get away with it.

You're not a doctor, you're only a LIAR and not even a very good one.

Grow the hell up. You are a liar. It has nothing to do with 'BDS', and you are incapable of rational discussion, and your continued lies and evasions only demonstrate your own impaired intellect.
The only question remaining is how a troll like you has managed to avoid the 'ZOT' for more than 5 years.

No you idiot..There you go with that temper again. I must of struck a nerve again. Sometimes the truth will do that.
accusing me of stalking you
I don't remember posting to you on this thread.
the fact that I was *PINGED* to that post
By a Paulista, correct? Well, you know the saying: Birds of a feather...

That's not temper, that's accurate posting. You ARE an idiot because not only are you a liar, you persist in your lies and compound your lies with even MORE lies.
Sometimes the truth will do that.
You wouldn't know the truth if it knocked on your door with a lapel sticker that said "HELLO, my name is TRUTH".

You didn't you fool, I was pinged to this thread at #255.

Again, you shamelessly try to evade and LIE. You refuse to take responsibility for your own untruthfulness with childish and lame efforts to be cute.
Grow up troll.

You didn't...That's right. I didn't post to you, and here you are following me around from thread to thread. I know what you want, but I'm sorry, my diagnosis stands as is. You're over-the-top behavior only reinforces my diagnosis as being correct...that you are indeed suffering from BDS.

Once again, you LIE. I was pinged by Rabscuttle385 at post #255 and you responded by lying when you accused me of "stalking" you.

Tell it to the mods.

See post 266
Your #266 is just another lying post of yours. In this thread you have claimed that I was 'stalking' you, 'following you from thread to thread' and those are lies. You know they are lies. I was pinged to this thread at #255 by Rabscuttle385. Anyone can see that. Your selective editing of PART of my sentence in post #265 does nothing to validate or support in any way, your previous lies.
