"Our problems in the Middle East are because the Bush administration's policies alienated everyone. If Kerry had won in 2004 and been re-elected, I would have inherited a Middle East in much better shape. I can't be expected to fix in four-and-a-half years the mess created by George W. Bush."
I dont see that.
He could say that things are better than when he got them but he isnt going to blame Bush as he is counting on the Bush people to help flip GOP Senate and House members on this.
He definitely wont mention Kerry's 2004 run.
I guess he will try to pin it all on that obstructionist GOP congress again.
