MADISON, Wis. (Reuters) - A year after his historic election, President Barack Obama sought to remind Americans on Wednesday the biggest problems he is grappling with -- from the economy to the war in Afghanistan -- are the legacy of his predecessor, George W. Bush. With his approval ratings down from once-lofty levels and Tuesday's Democratic election losses raising questions about his political clout, Obama held no special ceremony to mark the anniversary of his election as America's first black president.

Alliances Frayed? What Alliances Bush had strengthened you destroyed.

The Alliances you are looking for are with Castro and Chavez.

What a dip ****!

FUBO!

Bwahahahahahaha

[Huskrrrr]

No class! None!

What the hell ever! Get over yourself, Obambi!

“We had record deficits, two wars, frayed alliances around the world,” Obama added.

Auto-Excerpt cut off the quote.

I think he has something/someone shoved ...... so high up that ...... all foreign leaders hate him

[ncfool]

I blame Obama!

Not George Bush

[umgud]

Obama is a failed experimnent.

Obama held no special ceremony to mark the anniversary of his election as America's first black president.

I saw a Fox News report in passing this afternoon and they said that Obama spent election night watching an HBO special about his election. Why do I feel a Jethro Tull song coming on?

[goodnesswins]

Steyn was right.....President Bush is OBOMBA’S BLAME CZAR

[grobdriver]

What a whiner putz.
Every President has something or other left over from the previous administration they have to deal with.

This asshole took the wheel on the way to the checkered flag and drove into the ditch - and has the nerve to blame it on the guy who gave him the wheel!

Nice to see he is entering year 2 of the BlameBush Administration. It certainly is historic.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think this attitude that “it’s not my fault even though I promised hopey change” will fly with most Americans.

We want to see someone who steps up to the plate, takes responsibility, and makes things better. No excuses.

Bambi is shooting himself in the foot with this nonsense. Keep it up, loser!

[freedumb2003]

This administration is the first in modern history to blame everything on the prior POTUS. Reagan didn’t whine “look what carter left me!” He put on his big boy pants and TCB.

Chris Wallace is right — this administration will forever be known as the crybaby administration.

[Squat]

At some point I hope the bastard illegal kenyan illegally elected potus gets his ass handed to him by someone who has half the brains he does. He is the whole package, an idiot with no clothes on.

I heard that too, how narcissistic can you be that you would watch a HBO Special during a election where you had multiple attempts to sell the democrap to the public.

What a whining, sniveling, crying, blubbering, weeping, complaining, fretting, sobbing, bellyaching, etc.....WUSS. Please refund us your salary BO.

[Lancey Howard]

Ubama has absolutely no class at all.
None.

What a p.o.s.
