Since 2009, President Obama has often reminded audiences of actions taken by the “previous administration,” nearly always to pass off responsibility for any bad news plaguing his White House.
As recently as Saturday, Obama sought to deflect any culpability for Iraq’s deteriorating situation due to his decision to pull out all American troops by referencing the policies of the ”previous administration” of President George W. Bush.
“What I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps on coming up as if this was my decision,” Obama said. “Under the previous administration, we had turned over the country to a sovereign, democratically elected Iraqi government. In order for us to maintain troops in Iraq, we needed the invitation of the Iraqi government and we needed assurances that our personnel would be immune from prosecution if, for example, they were protecting themselves and ended up getting in a firefight with Iraqis, that they wouldn’t be hauled before an Iraqi judicial system.”
The buck stops there.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“The Buck Stops Here”
vs
“The Muck Stops Here”
Perhaps...
“The Muck Starts Here”
...would be better.
So all the problems faced by the next president will also be able to blame them on Bush too? LOL! That wacky Kenyan.
I ask every liberal who blames Bush - “When does the Obama Administration start?” or “Six years into the next Administration, will all bad news be Obama’s fault?”
It’s his second term. He IS the previous administration!
The narcisst-in-chief can’t accept responsibility for any failures.
“that they wouldn’t be hauled before an Iraqi judicial system.”
Actually, I do recall that as being a very big, contentious issue. But Obola should have played it with a heavy hand, instead of just giving up. He’s weak.
The end result is that Iraq has turned into the sh!t-hole that it was always destined to be. Our national disgrace is that we didn't need to piss away thousands of American lives and hundreds of billions of American dollars to get it there.
When something good happens, it's "I, Me, My" but when TSHTF, it's "we, our, us".
Bush can never escape starting the war with Iraq. They didn’t greet us with flowers, oil did not pay for it, and it did not make it safe for us and our friends. In terms of foreign policy it was a war that keeps giving stupid ‘s’. It is history written indelibly.
Although the situations are quite different, Japan and Germany come to mind.
The west can turn a blind eye to the aggressive military growth of the Islamic world or become victims of it.
Thank you.
Good one!.................
Then let's give Bush, the Junior, the credit for starting the war with Islam.
Obama is whining like a beaten bitch dog. Oh the world has NOT been kind to him. They didn’t line up and adulate him like they should have, and its ALL Bush’s fault?
Buahahahahahahahaha!
Never send a kid to a real game of Risk. They get chewed up and spit out. Obama is lucky he is still alive and not just hyena food.
The most ideological president , Obama is also the most underqualified. Send the leftist idjit home.Retire him. Keep him on the golf course until November 2016. My Irish Setter could lead better than he does, and unlike Obama, he’s on a leash!
Baraq applied for the job. He got the job despite being completely unqualified. Now he is complaining?
