Before jetting off for two weeks’ vacation, President Obama laid the blame for the Iraq crisis at the doorstep of the Bush administration.
At a brief press conference Saturday on the White House lawn, Obama scoffed at the notion that he might regret not having left a residual American force in Iraq.
“Under the previous administration, we had turned over the country to a sovereign democratic Iraqi government,” Obama said. “In order for us to leave troops in Iraq, we needed the invitation of the Iraqi government, … and the Iraqi government, based on its political considerations, in part because Iraqis were tired of a U.S. occupation, declined to provide us those assurances.”
Calling it “bogus and wrong” to override the wishes of a sovereign government, Obama failed to take responsibility for his failed leadership, infuriating a host of listeners, including conservative commentator Laura Ingraham. Twitchy compiled multiple tweets on the topic, including these:

Enjoy the gold and the clam chowder, you lazy excuse for a president.

This a$$hat can't be presidential if his life depended on it.
no fawning here. millions to protect kurds but not a red cent to save christians. insane does not begin to describe o’shitebag’s foreign policy.no strategic view at all,tactics based on only his whims of the moment the elite class are beckoning from the vineyard to relax and enjoy the sweet fruits of success of being a halfrican (p)resident of the USA
Translation-it is Bush’s fault!
Personally, I prefer it when he golfs....it’s when he’s at the White House he does the damage.
It can’t be good for the morale of the Navy aviators who are going into harm’s way.

“If I were a parent or spouse of a dead soldier,Marine or Airman who died serving in Iraq I’d be pissed beyond belief.
This is not the First time the democrats pulled this crap.They also did it in Vietnam where they also stabbed our guys in the back.”
I don’t get it, either! If my child had been killed, I’d be ‘out-Cindy-ing’ Cindy Sheehan at this point!
Who knows? Maybe there ARE massive rallies over this - all blacked out by the Enemy Media.
Based on the unceasing vitriol of his enemies, George Bush was one helluva President.
I hear the great whites have been spotted up that way maybe Obama will take in a swim also.
At least Palin isn’t president. Oh, wait. She didn’t run. /s
My son actually said he voted for Obama twice because he didn’t want Palin to win. And he’ll tell you he’s very smart.
Lots of wisdom in this statement I think. Bush wasn't perfect and neither is Obama, but we have responsibility.
“You broke it, you bought it.”
BULL shit with a big B.
Did we ever get an invitation from Germany or Japan, and we're STILL there 70+ years later
