Apparently There was a blame session and this was the best they could come up with. I don't know how to verify this information concerning the memos.

But if the Bush Administration did put out memos saying this, it was an internal email/memo and not put on blast as Obama did nationally.

BLAME BUSH strikes again.

We all should get used to it. “Blame Bush” is going to be the common theme for the 2010 elections. Every republican candidate is going to be linked to Bush and the MSN is going to lay it on the public thick.

Is there a time limit on how long they can keep blaming Bush? Good grief, enough already. What cry-baby whiners.

Well, why the hell doesn't Ogabe CHANGE it?

Oh, yeah. Because he'd rather point fingers than actually fix anything.

There must be a great betting line in Vegas on the speed with which ‘Bush’s fault’ is mentioned in news. What? $100 for under 1 minute? 30 seconds?

Vegas can at least make money somehow. Maybe there are adult paraphenalia with ‘blame bush’ on them, or 2fers at the Chicken Ranch for appropriate attire.

from the previous stories:

In a July 14 letter to Sen. Harry Reid, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel denied accusations of an administration policy restricting government travel, saying the administration's view is not focused on specific destinations but rather, the justification for the cost to benefit.

So the Obama admin knew it was happening....and continued Pres. Bush's policy (if it was even a policy) then blamed Pres. Bush for the policy.

Bea-u-ti-ful !

AGREED!! Bush did put that in (actually Paulson, the Corporate Socialist).

BUT Obama is the f***ing President. That sissy can do it if he wants.

Bush did a lot of bad things at the end of his term (TARP, for example) and Obama is digging it!!

Didn’t Bush think ahead?

Did everyone notice that you dont bash really Bad Presidents? President Reagan never mentioned Carter’s cursed name, and President Bush never said a bad thing aout the Bent One! President Bush saved Us from the terror of the Clinton years and the degredation and Embaressment! and then along comes Zero trashing everything about OUR WONDERFUL AMERICA! I stand by my tagline:-)

p.s.: Reid isn’t worth wasting electrons on!:-P

So if Obama didn’t agree with it, then how come he didn’t sign an EO saying otherwise?

He sure didn’t hesitate to sign an EO sealing all reference to his birth records? And that was his first day in office.

Heck, no. That's how Granholm (MI) got re-elected. It's how her lieutenant governor, John Cherry, is planning to run his campaign to take her place because of term limits.

“I have here two memos both from the Bush White House, the Bush Justice Department saying, ‘Don’t bring people to Reno or Las Vegas and Atlantic City,’” Reid said.

“Those memos, dated April 2006 and April 2008, state that certain destinations like Las Vegas need to be approved as conference destinations.”

No difference between an internal memo and the need for approving government agencies going to LV and the POTUS declaring publicly that a public company (Wells Fargo) shouldn’t send its high achieving personnel to LV. None at all. Right, Harry?

They’re bullies and cry-babies and whiners. Three for the price of one. Good grief. Not only that, but there’s not an ounce of class in the lot of them.

How many days til the 2010 mid-term?

The sooner he joins the Loser Group headed up by Daschle, the better. These politicians think they get a free ride for life once they get elected.
