And you have no partisanship in favor of 0-blamea? Sure.....

Quote:
Circumstances control more events than any US presidents can.
True, but the democrats in their partisan way were quick to blame Bush (and anyone with an R after their name) for anything that they thought they could get away with.

Quote:
Pray tell, what could GWB have done after 9-11 to control the world price of crude? What can O really do about Iran and the Straits?
You appear to be admitting that "O" did not control oil pricing, but blame Bush for not controlling it. Logical disconnect (partisan bleating).

Quote:
Can a POTUS control the futures market, speculators, use, demand?
No, although "O" seems to be claiming he could if it weren't for that nasty congress he has to deal with. Naive.

Quote:
What do you expect any POTUS to do?
Be honest about his limitations, which is something this president seems incapable of doing.

I totally agree with the first comment on the page.


Expand
Lawless. Cowardly. Arrogant. The worst man to ever hold office - hands down. Obama supporters don't just like the man - they WORSHIP him. Creepy on all levels.

If Pres. Obama gets reelected we will have 4 more years of hoping it will end soon and hearing the jingle of nothing but change in our pockets, if that.

I did not blame GWB for anything. My quarrel with him was, still and always will be, Iraq.

What makes you think because I am not enthusiastic about one party, that I think the other is any better?

IMO, they both stink.

I would like to be a Republican, as I once was. The crazies took over and ran many of us off. Just look at what is happening in Congress. The economy is in the toilet. We are hated by everybody in the world, even the ones with their hands in our pockets. Unemployment is as bad as I've ever witnessed, and wages are going down. The way to get rich in the USA is to go to work for some government, city, county state or federal. This did not just happen within the last 3 years. O might be ineffective, but he did not act alone.

What is on the minds of congress? Bedroom behavior.

If the R's put up a confessed adulterer, I have no place to go. RP will not run as an independent. If I had to choose between O and Newt, I could not vote.

What a dismal record of failure.

A majority of people still blame Bush for the economic mess that we're in. Every poll still indicates that. I think Obama has done quite a lot, but the gaping hole is the economy and it will remain the economy for a number of years. I don't see the GOP offering any solution; instead, they want to continue the same Bush policies: more war spending, lower taxes for the elite, destruction of the middle class (through various means). Is the debt a problem? Yeah. And it was a problem under Bush but none of the anti-Obamaites will ever admit it. Why were they silent from 2001-2009 and only now are raising their voices? I think Obama will win reelection because most people will realize that returning to the GOP and its recent economic failures is a bad change of direction, though Obama isn't offering much better right now. In the absence of any third party savior, it looks like Obama by a head.

"returning to the GOP and it's recent economic failures is a bad change of direction" ???? Let me get this straight, the direction BO is taking us is a good one???? Are you kidding??? So when can you all stop blaming Bush and BO can stand on his own??? Oh, never cause Barry's the "blaming President"...
He is a failure on every level of the Presidency.... He makes Jimmy Carter look like a fantastic President!!! I don't even want to know how much worse it will be if he gets re-elected!!!

I expect him to do the job he swore to do on that day of his Coronation. He has been busy campaigning before and after his program got partially installed and that article lists to darned many of his failures to try to defend him on.

Pick out some of your own failures to defend if you are so sure about what you said. Did you see that the poster you quoted said that he hadn't said anything about 9/11 when speaking about Bush? I don't think you did.

Not at all. You have just seen Dems blaming him for everything so long that one has a tendency to forget that he has been gone for 3 years.
