Gibbs blames Bush for Obama’s declining popularity among youth

John Rossomando

Youth enthusiasm for President Obama is nowhere near where it was in 2008 because of decisions made during the Bush years, according to Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs, who appeared this morning on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley.

Crowley asked Gibbs about the President’s weakened support among young Americans under 30 who voted for Obama by by a 66 percent margin in 2008. Recent polling suggests that number has fallen to 48 percent today.

“This is not 2008,” Gibbs said. “What’s happened since then is that we’ve had a series of economic calamities caused by bad decisions made before the president ever got there.”....

Barry’s “internal” polls must be a mess. LOL! Their desperation is building more and more with each passing day.

Let us face it, obamma is just not to the challenge of overcoming all the evil that Bush’s! What Bush did is unfathomable and beyond obamma. Bush is a evil mastermind!

Correct. It is Bush’s fault. Can’t you see that?

Bush didn’t LIE to them,

BO did.

Let’s not kid ourselves.

A sizable segment of FR has been happy to go along with this.

Bush was not even present at the Republican convention.

Our side has conceded this premise. I have argued to no avail that Bush was indeed conservative— even on fiscal matters— and yet conservatives play the bipartisan card by pretending that Obama and Bush are rather alike. Bush is kind of Obama lite.’’

Until conservatives are willing to defend their own, we will continue to lose— even if Romney wins. We let the other side decide the truth of things.

The deficit in 2007 was $160 billion according to Obama’s own whitehouse page. It now regularly runs ten times that amount annually— over $1 trillion each year.

Democrats unleashed the mortgage crisis in 2007 and our side punted on Bush because they were tired of defending him.

Conservatives have bailed out on Bush’s bailouts and yet:

Both bailouts: 1) required repayment and 2) repayments were to be paid back with interest and 3) almost all of these funds have been repaid.

Can the same be said of Obama’s versions of spending? Do the recipients pay it back?

Those three factors of the Bush bailouts are principals of a fiscally conservative perspective. The money had to be paid back and was. Bush played a very bad hand dealt to him by Congressional democrats very well.

Imagine a 0-16 NFL coach blaming the previous coach of four years ago. Or imagine a CEO of a bankrupt company blaming the CEO of four years ago. Or imagine a driver telling the insurance company that the fatal wreck he was just in is the fault of the guy who owned the car four years ago.

DumBO is a failure because Bush was a failure. So, if Bush were a success, ZerO would still be a Senator is the Illinois Legislature and successfully voting present.
