How many times have you, as a parent, had to reprimand your child for casting blame on their current personal circumstances on someone else? I have two little rugrats myself and find that to be the case often enough. I love my kiddos more than life itself and it is because of that that I am constantly grabbing their blaming finger and pushing it back towards their own chest in an effort to remind them that personal accountability for their own actions, behavior, and circumstances rest squarely on their own shoulders. I don’t want them to walk through life seeing themselves as victims of circumstance. If you mess up, own it. Take responsibility for it and do what you gotta do in order to fix it and make it better. Blame is the easy way out but in the end it doesn’t win any battles and it doesn’t make you a better person.
Obama’s mama and grandmama must have forgotten that little life lesson because they raised a little boy who turned into a blame-others young man and now it continues quite prolifically into his man-child presidency. The man who begged for this presidency, who bent over backwards to convince us (um, not me as I was far too smart to fall for that one) that he was the only person to fix the problems within our country, won the seat and immediately began pointing fingers at everyone else. In fact, “Blame Bush” has become such a popular mantra that I think it just rolls off his tongue without thought or provocation anymore and it’s been picked up by everyone else on the left as well.
Were there problems that originated from the Bush Administration? Sure. He spent too much and used his veto pen far too little. However, we have a president who has used this dire economic situation as an excuse to spend more than every single president combined in the history of our country. Ponder that for a moment… He has actually SPENT MORE than EVERY president COMBINED since the inception of this nation. That’s staggering. I think most reasonable people would agree that there is a statue of limitations on any blame game. He begged for the job, the country gave it to him and now he refuses to accept failure for his spending or take accountability for his decisions that have put us in an even worse economic position that we were originally in.
Recently, President Obama has gone even further with the blame game. From Politico:
'President Barack Obama said Americans’ “fear and frustration” is to blame for an intense midterm election cycle that threatens to derail the Democratic agenda.
“Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country’s scared.”
Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” He faulted the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to “think clearly” and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.”'
So, now President Obama is blaming your fear for threatening the Democrats reign of power when in reality, it’s not us that’s the problem, Mr. Obama. To put it simply, it’s you. We aren’t afraid. We are mad. We are angry that you and your cronies in Congress have abused the power that was handed to you and used it as an excuse to tear down America and remake it into a model of socialism that reflects the very ideologies that you worked so hard to hide during your days of campaigning.
November is looming and we are counting down the days that we can reclaim our country and reinstate the constitutional principles that made us the greatest nation in the world. In the meantime, tell your thugs to prepare for their imminent retirement.

So are we, Obozo... so are we.

We are scared of the socialist direction the country is taking. We are mad that BHO is the leader behind the direction. We are tired, fed up, and not going to take it any more. Real change is coming in November because the policies have awakened a sleeping giant in the American people.
The kind of mad the democrats will face on November 2, 2010 is just like the quote from Clint Eastwood in the movie “Unforgiven”
Well, he should have armed himself if he’s going to decorate his saloon with my friend
Americans’ “fear and frustration”
Americans “ anger and broke” the idiot can’t get anything right.
