“Nothing makes a president look weaker than pointing the finger at past administrations,” said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean. “By blaming somebody, it looks like you are playing politics and people just want jobs. They don’t care about whose fault it is. Playing the blame game only boomerangs on yourself.”
Obama repeated that message this week when talking about the still-sputtering economy, twice reminding those at a town-hall meeting in Wisconsin that he “inherited” the economic mess.
It’s a familiar message from his days on the campaign trail when criticisms of President Bush were as common as policy proposals.
“History will not judge President Bush kindly for his failure to act in a way that could have prevented or alleviated this economic crisis,” Obama said in March 2008 shortly after Bear Sterns’ collapse, slamming Bush for failing to instill confidence in the American people.
But lets look at the fact that:
the Democrats controlled Congress in the last two years of the Bush administration and have controlled both the White House and Congress for a year and a half.
Just like Jimmy Carter The Obama has taken a down turn and driven it into the GROUND. Clearly a bad situation has become a disaster. We have a main stream press that has proven to be slanted and biased. If you expect to read of see the truth looking at the main stream press we would refer you to look at Russia’s Pravda or Der Spiegel in Germany during World War 2.
