White House Press secretary Jay Carney today reminded reporters that prior to President Obama's term in office, the Bush administration was responsible for the tumultuous lengthy engagement in Afghanistan.

"The president made clear when he was a candidate for this office and when he took this office, that unfortunately prior to his taking office, because of the focus on Iraq, and the U.S. efforts there, that the original war, if you will, in Afghanistan had been neglected, the strategy there was unclear, and that it was not properly resourced," said Carney, adding that the U.S. goals in Afghanistan would be met with President Obama's "clear eyed" policy.

Last night as I was watching CNN they made sure to mention that Bush apologized twice over a Koran incident....

Now the White House is saying it is Bush’s fault...PLAEEEZE!

It amazes me on a daily basis how messed up these people are.

I try to remember they are the minority view in this fine great country they are trying to destroy daily.

Either GW is working toward some kind of Sainthood or he’s going to show up at the White Hut with a 50 gallon drum of Whoop A$$. I’m hoping for the latter.

And yet almost twice as many American soldiers have died in Aghanistan since Obama took office than during Bush’s two previous terms. Go figure.

There is no need to get nasty here. Besides, what did a barker ever do to you to deserve such a vile comparison

Well, Obama, why not start blaming your mother for your malignant narcissism including your inability to accept responsibility and deal with criticism. Why stop at Bush...go back and blame your mother.

Obama...yep, starting with your childhood - it's her fault you didn't have a daddy around. It's her fault that you are bi-racial and had an identity crisis. It's her fault that you never really knew or loved America. It's her fault that you had to live with your grandparents who were ashamed of what she did by conceiving a bi-racial child who ended up living with them. It's her fault that you never had really close friends or girlfriends. It's her fault that you started taking drugs. It's her fault that you never held a real job. It's her fault that you have such a poor work ethic. It's her fault that you have such a chip on your shoulder. It's her fault you have such poor leadership skills. It's her fault you can't give a speech without a Teleprompter. It's her fault you don't know there are not 57 states. It's her fault that you are, as you admitted, lazy. It's her fault that you can't do anything about our gasoline prices, as you admitted last week. It's her fault that more than half of America despises you.

Yep, everything wrong with you and wrong in your life is your Mother's fault. So why not just blame her like you blame everyone else for all your failures? You are not to blame for anything.
