Sen. Chris Dodd Blames Bush For Oil Spill
RealClearPolitics ^ | May 25, 2010 | RealClearPolitics

Posted on 05/25/2010 10:52:45 AM PDT by i88schwartz

When asked by Don Imus on his morning program if the Obama was to blame for lack of response to the oil spill, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) blamed the Bush administration. "Well, you know, they come into office a year ago with all of this. And so, after the last eight years," he said.

At that point, Imus interrupted and asked if he has "lost" his mind for blaming Bush. "The President has been in office for a year and a half and they've been dragging their feet and even people like James Carville said that his behavior 'has been at the very best lackadaisical and naive' and you're still going to try to blame Bush?" he said.

To lay this at Obama's doorstep, in light of years and years of regulatory permissiveness when it comes to these kinds of operations occurring -- it didn't occur in the last year and a half," he said. "I mean, you know that as well as I do. You can't lay this all at Obama's door anymore than I can say," Dodd responded.

It sure is. My fondest wish is to see Obama and Pelosi behind bars.

The Democrats should have bumper stick that says, “Oust Bush in 2012!” Perhaps as part of their psychosis, they still believe he is president. I guess they were just too brittle to explain it to after he left in January 2001.

when is someone like Bush going to request some TV time and tell it like it is on the oil issue. Dodd is a complete A hole and cannot move to Ireland soon enough to suit me.

“... who caused Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina? George W Bush! And who was responsible for WWII? George W Bush, of course!”

You forgot that George W. Bush told the serpent to tempt Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

And when Moses came down the mountain with the ten commandments and saw the golden calf, the people said, Bush made us do it!

Dodd blames his small penis on Bush, too.

absolutly. In fact, it seems that George W. Bush is so responsible for every damn fault that has, is or ever will be.

After all Richard M. Nixon is now so dead, maybe he is in Grants tomb.

If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, we’d have real change by now.

And when Jesus was bloodied and dying on the cross, he raised his eyes and cried, “Dick Cheney, Dick Cheney, why hast thou forsaken me?”

This is a textbook definition/example of “hubris”. Dodd is among the leaders of the crowd who, after only ten months in office, sought to completely blame Bush for 9/11 and absolve the “impeached one” of any responsibility. As they said... just look at the bottom line... it happened on Bush's (Obama’s) watch so he can't run away from his responsibility (after all he as now been in office for 16 months). And, as has been point out above, Reid and Pelosi have been in charge of making relevant laws for the last 40 months, totally in charge because of their majorities for the last 16 months.
