Right, everything's Bush's fault and nothing is Obama's fault.

Here's what I actually said: (the full quote):

"He’s (Obama) sure not helping the situation but this train wreck had its genesis in the previous administration."

You cut and pasted the non-bolded part and omitted the bolded.

A reasonable person would interpret that to mean that this problem began on Bush's watch and is not being helped by Obama's current course of action. That was certainly my meaning, in any event.

Seeing as you're into building straw men and attempting to polarize the discussion, how about I play fast and loose with your words.

Here ya go: "Nothing is Bush's fault and everything is Obama's fault."

Next time you do a cut and paste job, try to do it honestly.

"...what I actually said: (the full quote)..."

Maybe your intent was to just say the bank collapses began before Obama got elected but that wasn't what you posted.  Your post drew a connection between the "genesis" of the "train wreck" and "the previous administration".  

The rest of us can see how your original post 24 came on without all the font changes that got snuck into post 54, but that's not the point.. What's going on here is that for years we've had to listen to this goofy "everything's-Bush's-fault" crowd.  Of course we know that saying "everything's-Obama's-fault" is goofy too, but we're saying it because we're showing how the whole fault business is goofy.
