Hey Bill, isn’t that part of the reason YOU got elected?
No. That rule only applies to Republicans, who are responsible for not only everything that happens from minute 1 of their tenure but the consequences of every failure (like, for instance, Bill not taking out OBL) from the previous administration.
A Democrat starts with a credit for every problem still in existence when he takes office and takes no blame for any problems not solved.
In liberal-land two rules apply: 1. People’s suffering is actually good, because the liberal can ‘care’ and because it presents an opportunity to grow the central government; and 2. Intentions are all-important; actual results are irrelevant.
