The Buck Stops There For Obama, everything is the fault of the 'previous administration'
Free Beacon ^ | 8/13/14 | David Rutz

Since 2009, President Obama has often reminded audiences of actions taken by the “previous administration,” nearly always to pass off responsibility for any bad news plaguing his White House.

As recently as Saturday, Obama sought to deflect any culpability for Iraq’s deteriorating situation due to his decision to pull out all American troops by referencing the policies of the ”previous administration” of President George W. Bush.

“What I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps on coming up as if this was my decision,” Obama said. “Under the previous administration, we had turned over the country to a sovereign, democratically elected Iraqi government. In order for us to maintain troops in Iraq, we needed the invitation of the Iraqi government and we needed assurances that our personnel would be immune from prosecution if, for example, they were protecting themselves and ended up getting in a firefight with Iraqis, that they wouldn’t be hauled before an Iraqi judicial system.”

The buck stops there.

I've never encountered anyone with lower self esteem than Obama. This mask of his, this hubris is really the most transparent possible. Only someone in a debilitating state of personal reverse cock suredness cannot even admit that he drew a freaking breath when he woke up this morning.

The most incredible thing I've ever seen. He knows for an absolute fact that of 300 million Americans, he is the most unqualified for the seat he's currently occupying.

So it seems that Obama's echo chamber is in shambles. He went through life with
and joint and lollipop in his mouth hating on the man. Now he's getting his
upcomings on our time and our lives.

This POS will start WW3 and blame God next. Our enemies smell blood and weakness.

It really irritates me because I see Laura Bush doing something with the Mooch and giving her credibility after the Obamas have done NOTHING but trash and blame W for everything. What’s wrong with the Bushes, have they no pride at all? It’s truly sickening.

Baraq applied for the job. He got the job despite being completely unqualified. Now he is complaining?>>>>>>>>>>>>

Obama does not even rise to the level of “apprentice president.”

Yet the man thinks so highly of himself that he thinks he can change the course of history single handedly.Obama is a profound idiot. But an idiot all the same.All Obama has done is create crisis and train wrecks that some one else has to clean up.
