The Blame Bush Mantra Outlasts the Energizer Bunny
With President Barack Obama desperate to bring up his approval ratings and get his base back in line, he and his media cohorts are attempting to go back to (or is is repeat?) the same old strategy that got him into the White House in the first place. You guessed it, blame Bush. His media sycophants seem to think it can and must still work.
From his campaigning to State of the Union addresses (when he's not blaming the Supreme Court judges themselves) to stumping for other Democrats (which he finally learned he sucks at given the win/loss records of those he stumps for) all he can do is blame the former president because his own record in the last three and a half years is dismal at best. Otherwise, he and the media would be reminding everyone about his glowing achievements infinitum.
Yes, a lot of blame can be put on George W. Bush in his part of the housing bubble bust and economic meltdown. One would have to. He was the man in charge. But forgetting about people like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the Democrat-controlled Congress's role in all of that is simply unfair, half-truths and moreover, typical of a narcissistic Democrat president that simply cannot own up to his own failures. Every president has them and every president will deny his role in those failures. But I have never seen a president so hell bent on blaming each and every failure on his predecessor as Obama has and frankly, it's a very tired, very weak excuse for a man who has been billed as "brilliant," "god-like," and of course, "The One." And the people have seen through it. Most of them from day one. Quite simply and since his inauguration, Obama has been the president of excuses.
A new poll says Americans indeed still blame W. than Obama for their economic woes, but just how informed are they when that's all they hear in a media that pounds home the Bush economic deficiencies without informing them about his triumphs, of which there were many.
Maybe Mitt Romney should keep beating people over the head about the record of Jimmy Carter and FDR and how well off they were under those administrations since Obama has made it clear he has every intention of continuing their legacy.
