Tell that to teh One. In his interview with Stephy is blamed Coakley’s loss on Bush. I’m gonna quote Rush here because in this instance (as in most) he is SPOT ON.

Obama is a manchild.

Argh…..if only there was an edit key.

is=he in my second sentence.

The reason behind this is that Obama was elected on the basis that he was going to be The One who would rectify all the problems of the past 8 years. Now people are begining to realize that instead of repairing things B.O. has compounded many of the problems.

I wonder how many people who still invoke George Bush had a sticker on their car announcing GB’s last day in office. Couldn’t wait to see him go, now cannot let him go.

Same as it’s always been, IOKIYAR.

Reagan couldn’t shut up about “inheriting” Jimmy Carter’s economy, as Paul Krugman astutely pointed out. Despite the fact it was the tight monetary policies of Paul Volcker in his battle against problems created under Nixon/Ford that led to the general malaise.

Of course Reagan threw Volcker aside as soon as Paul’s policies even outpaced the irresponsible Reagan economic plan to cut the taxes for the landed aristocracy and raise them seven times on the common workers and middle class.

He then appointed Master Of The Universe Randian Alan Greenspan who promptly went about creating bubbles, raiding Social Security to pay for tax cuts, and de-regulating everything in sight; among other Republican atrocities.

I don’t expect the easily manipulated low information American voter to understand who really screwed us the last forty years, and certainly not that moving further right will bring about the elite Gilded Age Republicans have always wished for.

Despite Obama trying to compromise with everyone in sight intellectually dishonest partisans are calling him Socialist, et al, so I hope he’s learned it’s past time to start jamming some badly needed Liberal policies through and to hell with conservatives of both parties.

It amazes me that the ‘Blame Bush’ mantra gained any resonance, never mind Obama dragging it behind him like a little red wagon. People (probably conveniently) like to forget that MOST of the problems were caused NOT by people named ‘Bush,’ but instead by people named ‘Pelosi’ and ‘Reid’ (and, for good measure, Dodd and Frank). Since 2006, THESE are the people who laid the framework for disaster. Democrats had full control of Congress since 2006, so it was theirs to fix (or not). They chose ‘or not.’

Every time I hear someone blame a President for economic woe I have to remind them that it is Congress making up the budget. That gets the head scratching.

If democrats didn’t act like surrender monkeys continually, it wouldn’t be so bad, you know they basically do nothing, they claim with the largest margins since after Watergate, they can get nothing done with out republicans in the senate, they can do nothing, we must always have 60 votes, so we can turn the nation into California. Democrats simply have proven themselves unable to govern, or unwilling to govern, or just plain they don’t want to govern otherwise they might lose their jobs. I am beginning to hate them for their personal weaknesses. I blame congress folks more than the President, but the President doesn’t even yell at them like he should, he should tell them to suck it up, but they all just say, well we need republicans. Great, so they will never get anything done. Yes they are surrender monkeys.

When an election takes places,they keys to the kingdom pass to another person.At that moment in time the kingdom and all it’s woes become his and his alone.Blaming the former king only carries but so much weight and after a very short time continuing to blame the previous king only weaken and cheapens the current one.Obama and friends have had the keys for a year and have done many things on many fronts that eliminate the ability to blame Bush.Blaming Bush now send the message”we can’t fix it” and “we don’t have any good alternatives”.Unfortunately those messages are accurate and Deomcrats are being hauled kicking and screaming into that reality.For some reason politicians forget that they are supposed to work for the people and are supposed to focus on what the people feel are the biggest issues facing them.They are not elected because they know better they are elected because WE know better and they are there to act upon what WE want not what they want.They also forget that worrying about thier own political careers more than the people’s might cost them their careers which may well happen in droves this November.And yet the cucle repeats over and over.Can’t we find people smart enough to not repeat this cycle over and over?Apparently not.
