The era of 'blame Bush' for Obama is over

blame Bush for Obama

Wow. I know they blame Bush for everything, but blaming him for themselves?! That's a whole new level of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

[altair]

We would have had McCain beating Lieberman last year.

[Rocky]

It’s about time Obama was blamed.

[Indy Pendance]

No one knew who Palin was in 2003.

[convertedtoreason]

Reid and Pelosi were the main authors. Dems were the key players.

The voters gave the credits and the votes to Obama ... not to McCain.

Gosh. CNN and the writer are suffering from selective if not total amnesia.

[rabscuttle385]

Does final stage BDS give you rashes in places that you would be embarrassed to admit?

Let's see...he pushed the bailouts, No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part D, McCain-Feingold, carbon taxes, and amnesty for illegals.

And that's just for starters.

Or is it deranged to call out liberals in conservative clothing?

[MamaDearest]

0bama will be remembered as one of the biggest PUKES in history.

Some say his ultimate goal is to head the UN. If he took his czars and cabinet (especially Pelosi), and made the move now, would we miss him? (sarc)

[Indy Pendance]

I think this time, we’re not going to nominate ‘the next in line’. Sarah or someone from that mindset will be the nominee.

[Guyin4Os]

Let’s also get it straight that the CNN guy is WRONG and the Dems will keep blaming Bush for YEARS

Exactly. They blamed Herbert Hoover for years, even though it was FDR's policies that turned a recession into a depression.

[rabscuttle385]

If not for the press, he’d be a way more popular president.

For what? Pushing the $18 Trillion Medicare Part D?

[unkus]

The bastard can go straight to hell.

[convertedtoreason]

He was just making a point that:

IF ONLY BUSH WAS AS A REAL CONSERVATIVE AND A FIGHTER LIKE today’s PALIN.

[convertedtoreason]

Well. Sad fate.

But I agree.

[altair]

And no one needs to defend President Bush. He was a far better President than would have been Al Gore or John Kerry. Far, far better.

I'm not so sure about that. Like it or not, Bush's legacy is the Obama administration and financial chaos, much as President Taft's legacy was Woody Wilson, though a strong case can be made that Woody was Roosevelt's fault for running 3rd party and splitting Republican votes.

Now if Bush had kept the campaign promises he made ...

[Indy Pendance]

As long as we kick their asses out of the US. If I was president, that would be one of my first agenda items, abolish the UN, or get out. Oh, I know all about the Rockefeller grant and all that, I’d tax them one million percent, fine the diplomats 8 zillion in parking fines, whatever. If Obama can trash our country, I can trash the UN. Give me liberty.... they want me to die. NO WAY! I’m here, I’m ready and I’m going to be their biggest boil on their ass.

[Favor Center]

“I blame Bush for keeping us safe.”

30,000+ dead Americans and climbing due to his love affair with Mexico’s interests would indicate that no, he didn’t. He didn’t even do anything about the lack of enforcement of visa laws that allowed the 9/11 hijackers their shot.

I will NEVER forgive the man for what he tried to do - inundate us with millions of DEMOCRATS. Never again. No more RINOs. His amnesty plans faltered, so we still have a slim chance of defeating the left. If Mr “See you at the bill signing” had won, it’d be all over. It ticks me off to no end that I donated money to his 2nd election campaign. What a fool I was. Not any longer.

Bush was far better than Gore or Kerry, but so is your average sewer rat. That’s no praise. That’s just pathetic. The GOP has put up squish after squish since Reagan - a man they hated like they hate people like Palin.

It IT amusing to hear Obama wail about this economy he inherited... like he wasn’t in the Senate and didn’t vote for this crap. LOL.

[Indy Pendance]

We didn't know Palin then. Our country wasn't ready for a true conservative. Of course, WE all wanted one, but the rest of the US didn't. Now, they know the extent of the dems and their socialist agenda. People are paying attention now, too late, they should have paid attention in September 2008. And it's not pretty, and is it too late?

[SoConPubbie]

Let's see...he pushed the bailouts, No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part D, McCain-Feingold, carbon taxes, and amnesty for illegals.

And that's just for starters.

In my best Gator113 impression:

"Well rabscuttle, when you put it that way, you just may have a point!"

[highlander_UW]

OK, let's get this straight. George Bush was not a conservative. He did some conservative things, but he was not a conservative.

I agree entirely. Bush was just the lesser of two evils. Two times America voted for the republican lesser of two evils. This election America voted for the greater of two evils because they were fed up voting for the lesser and hoped voting democrat would be better. The lesson here is that as long as the republicans and the democrats keep putting forward evil candidates America will suffer. If the republicans want to regain power they're going to have to give up the old strategy of trying to be the lesser of two evils. How about they pick a candidate that won't screw American for a change?

[Vendome]

Well that is why I figure him to some weird conundrum.

He was the lesser of two evils and I think we all have seen how that has gone.
