If all Obama supporters have for excuses is Bush,then they're screwed.
If Bush is the benchmark that Obama is measured to that is setting the bar as low as possible.Bush was a poor speaker,a bad liar and inept leader and now whipping boy for all Liberals.

It is hightime for Obama to man up and take responsibility for his policies and the state of the Country.Instead we get data manipulation,spin and candy coated lies.As bad as Bush was he was miraculously re-elected and served 2 terms,Obama won't. After the mid term elections he will be hobbled in his Socialist agenda,which will be a good thing as he doesn't care what the majority of Americans really want and not the path he's going down.It's time for Americans to take back this Country from this Fool and his policies.

The blame will continue as long as the economy doesn't turn around.
Doesn't matter who passes what spending bill since Jan 2009 or what new deficits are created since Jan 2009..it will be Bush's fault as long as there's problems in America.

If we can string this out til 2012 then Bush should definitely go down in history as the President with the most power ever since it will live 4 years past his watch.

When Bush took office, America was at peace and the economy was strong. He left an America with two unresolved mismanaged middle east wars that have dragged on years longer than they should have. He left with America in the throes of the worst recession in generations.

That's reality, baby. Not "blame."

Obama's responsible for cleaning up this horrible mess that Bush left behind. And you're here b*tching about the man not getting done fast enough to satisfy you. That, or just blindly shifting the blame from Bush to Obama.

It's not just "obama supporters" who do that. Most people don't understand how actions put into place usually take time to make a difference. Whether positive or negative there are very few things a President can do that will have an immediate impact on society. Most of what we get is delayed reactions and it's not always easy to figure out what caused it. Or who.

I just wish the "blame" would stop. We are where we are. Concentrate on the future.
If a plan isn't working..admit it and move on. Don't blame the failure of a current plan on a past President. Admit it didn't work and cut your losses and try the next thing.

At least FDR did that ..he didn't spend his time blaming Hoover. If a plan didn't work..he moved on to the next plan. He took ownership of his administration. Go read up on it..he was a great politician and DID listen to the people, mostly because he wanted to get re-elected.

I wonder how many of FDR's plans were scrapped in the first 15 months of his administration? And how many angry mobs were gathering calling for his impeachment?

Or, in hindsight, do most of us realize that climbing out of the Great Depression was a little longer process than "right now"...

Perhaps someday, a few of the current foaming-at-the-mouth nutballs will step back and see that maybe some of Obama's actions took awhile to bear results, too.

If things were getting better instead of worse like they really are then the libs would have a better chance of someone believing their BS.

Since things are getting worse under Obama then what and who will they blame in another year?

The hypocritical left wants to give Obama credit for anything he does but when something goes sour they go right back to blaming Bush.

Obama has been in office almost 14 months and has ZERO accomplishments to his record. None of any major value at all.

His mistake a day routine is getting old.

He suckered Americans into believing the stimulus would get us on the right track when in fact is a miserable failure.

He was given a blank checkbook to do what ever he wants and of course he has made things worse, put is into more debt and weakened the economy further.

Bush has 4 YEARS of continued growth under his record, what does Obama have? The screw up mistake of pushing the KSM trial to happen in NYC and then changed his mind after the American people STOPPED HIM?

Miss me yet signs are all over the highway.

People have found that even with the mistakes Bush made he still did a pretty darn good job of keeping us safe, had 4 consecutive years of job growth and lead us past 9-11 like a real leader.

Obama, well, no accomplishments at all, embarrassing the US around the world, weakening our defenses, spending like a drunken sailor, mistake after mistake, one bad decision after another and the list goes on and on.


This is Obama economy, he owns it. He was given ample time and money to fix anything and yet he has not delivered.

If he cannot handle the job he needs to resign. He is that BAD.

Add record foreclosures and bankruptcies caused by his failure to create a single job even with a blank checkbook.

Obama is an epic FAILURE.
