Answer by Bobbie
Things still are Bush’s fault, just like some things are still Clinton’s fault, Bush Snr’s fault, Reagan’s fault and so on.

Really? Where’d you hear that tonight?

The guy’s first day on the job he was handed an amazing load of ___ inherited from his predecessors (and yes, I’m including Clinton there – he acceded to the republican Congress’ demands for massive deregulation). And you think six months is going to make a dent in that?

It is quite puzzling, since Obama hasn’t really changed any Bush policy, and spends way more

Answer by Griggnax
He can continue to “use that excuse” until he fixes the mess the past 8 years of Bush destruction left us.

Is that why the right-wingers keep calling Obama “The Messiah”…because they think he should be able to fix the country in only 6 months? I don’t get it.

Answer by Old enough toupee’?Weee
Well maybe another hundred until he is impeached in 2010.

Here is the sad fact blame game is a liberal and democratic trait I have never witness a Republican president blame his predecessor democratic president for the problem he has …real men roll up their sleeves and tackle problems…only girly men sit around and whine that it is not their fault.

Answer by Nancy
As long as he can get away with it, he will – It seems there are some people in these here states that enjoy having someone to hate, to blame – why not a person who is no longer in power… I appreciate your candor – it shows you are thinking-

Answer by Theresa M
The democrats never take the blame….

George BUSH ( the daddy) set aside money for OUR SOCIAL SECURITY that BILL CLINTON TOOK AND BALANCED THE BUDGET WITH IT, he did not balance the budget the right way he took money that the REPUBLICANS set aside for our future, just like OBAMA he is spending money faster than it can hit the treasury dept.

Obama has spent more money in his first 100 days of office than any president in history spent in their 4yr term and unemployment is the highest it has been in history, he is not the leader AMERICA needs.
Go to Mount Rushmore and look at the top of that mountain and there you will see that the 4 GREAT MEN up there where ALL REPUBLICANS and every great president has been a republican, I am not saying they did not make mistakes I am saying they Truly where LEADERS for OUR COUNTRY..Even Ronald Regan got his mind right before he ran for office he was a Democrat before switching over to be a Republican……………..Just seeing like it is, HOW MANY WHO VOTED FOR HIM WISH THEY COULD CHANGE THEIR VOTE NOW be honest

Answer by handsome_bigfella
He needs to remind Americans that all the doom and gloom is the attempt to fix a pre-existing problem from the Bush era and that he is only 7 months into diffusing 2 wars and a near-depression. I would use it until the economy recovers, then its all on him.

Forever, because the the left wingers will follow him to hell.

LoL!!!!! I agree with you . I didn’t vote for Obama , and I don’t like his spending spree he is on. The democrats are even starting to turn on him. The Clinton’s tried to reform health care in 1993 and it failed just like Obama is going to fail. Health care isn’t going to be reformed while he’s in office. It just cost to much money to do it. Democrats seem to forget that DEMOCRATES CONGRESS controlled the house during the last few years of Bush’s term, but they still blame the Republicans for the downfall . Go look at the economy prior to the last year of bush’s term and you’ll see that our economy was better than any other president in history. Lets face it.. 911 made Bush take a different turn, As we all agreed at the time it was time to go to war. If Iraq was just a waste of time, then why are we still there. Obama said he would start withdrawing troops after six months and that we would be out of Iraq in 16 months. This isn’t going to happen, because there is a reason to be there. (OUR FREEDOM) My opinion is that Obama is Bush on steroids. He’s spent more money than all the presidents COMBINED, and people are still losing their jobs and homes at a record pace. Impeach OBAMA

Answer by space dreamer
Assuming there will be a presidential address once a month, my guess is President Obama will blame Bush about 28 more times. 28 might be the number of months he will remain in office.

I don’t understand why he and millions of others blame Bush for everything that’s going on. Bush tried to regulate the banks just before the financial crisis came around the corner, but Congress would not allow it. If Bush’s policies failed, why did the economy not fail until Obama beat Hilary in the democratic nomination?

McCain had the right idea, in order to truly compete against another country’s economy we should give businesses a reason to stay here rather than move operations across the border, or across the ocean. How do we do that? We lower taxes on everything.

Answer by Don sack
He’s just stating the facts that he took over an economy in free fall due to horrible economic decisions; two horribly mismanaged wars, one of which was illegal; a nation that has had the Constitution destroyed; a federal government that has been dismantled from the inside for eight consecutive years; and a huge amount of war criminals on the loose within the nation. If you misinterpret the facts he states as blaming Bush you should ask yourself why.
