Is everything still Bush's fault? Is anything Obama's fault yet after 222 days in office?

Question

Will anything be Obama's fault after 4 years?
What about after 8 years?

If the next president is a Republican will blame miraculously transfer from Bush to that poor schmuck?

If the next president is a democrat will Bush be to blame throughout his term in office too?

Did Bush pick out the cheap White house souvenir shop gift Obama to gave to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown?

Did Bush kick Obama in the shins and punch him in the solar plexus to make him bow to Saudi King Abdullah, or was he cleaning the floor?

Did Bush use subliminal suggestion to get Obama to say “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”?

? · Answer

Obama supporters will only offer him credit when/if things are going well. Otherwise, everything will be because it was an inherited mess. It's funny to me that so many posted here that there hasn't been enough time when the stock market was still plummeting, but that Obama is responsible for its recent gains. Those people have no idea how Wall Street, or the economy for that matter, operate and are pretty much speaking out of ignorance. I think a few are beginning to wake up, but it's still early in his administration yet. If the economy still sucks and there isn't universal health care or more social programs within a year or two I believe the tides will begin to turn.

Some people need to be tortured, oh, you mean water boarded.

Not nearly as bad as having you head chopped off. If GITMO is a torture chamber, most islamists would love that kind of torture.

Yes, our troops are off the streets in Iraq and the bombings have not stopped since our Dear Leader ordered this great tactical move.

The stimulus package was little more than payback to political cronies, unions, special interest groups and of course ACORN. It was payback and vote buying, nothing more than that.

The Dow Jones Industrial closed at 9,505 today, considerably lower than it was when Americans realized that Obama would be elected President. In October 2008 the DJIA was over 14,000 yet you are so blind you say it is up? Those investors left the stock market with their money because they KNEW what was coming when Obama was elected.

You are clearly living in another world. There are will never be any tax cuts from Obama as he is simply spending too much money. The only people who will make out tax wise are those who don't work, they will be paid "tax refunds" despite having no income. Redistribution of wealth is another way to buy votes with taxpayer money.

Obama deserves credit only for running a slick campaign and buying off the press. He is pushing this country back towards the right.

Yeah, but how do you really feel ? ( smile )
You made one mis-statement in your 2nd sentence. He will not be around in 8 years.
Ever notice how the liberal ex-presidents love to bash the sitting president, especially if he is a republican ? Jimmy Carter and Slick Willie Clinton have no trouble doing that, ignoring the time-honored tradition of former presidents just retiring to their homes/ranches and staying out of politics, like Reagan, Bush '41 and GW have done. Has anyone heard George Bush '43 ever say one word against Barack Hussein Obama since he left office 7 months ago ?  A class act. 
Instead, BHO has never missed an opportunity to denigrate GW, blaming him for everything, including global warming. This BHO is nothing but a socialist, glib-tounged, swaggering airhead. A one term wonder for sure, - even his zombie-like liberal worshipers will have wised up to him by 2012. But then again, they are liberals, so that is not a given.

Excellent question. Here's your star. Libs jump from Republican president to Republican president with the blame game. It was all Reagan's fault before George H.W. Then blame miraculously skipped right past Clinton's EIGHT years onto George W.  Same old boring double standard.

Larry · Answer

This is a short list too. Well, no worries - three more years or so and we get rid of this frickin' idiot and put adults back in charge of the government. Obama is quickly losing the support of critical demographics essential to his reelection in 2012 - LOL!

Bryan M · Answer

Well of course the Messiah can't do anything wrong.  lol

Pretty sad that he's only been in office now for 7 months and and has done all that already.

USA isn&#39;t broken Congress is · Answer

Nothing is ever Obama's fault. If he spent all the time he bitches and moans and cries and complains about "inheriting" into "solving" we might get out of this mess.

cbmultiplechoice · Answer

Telling the American people they need to be quiet (shut up) and get out of the way.

NOT telling Nasty Pelosi she was wrong to say we are un-
American for showing up to townhall meetings to voice our opposition.

Anonymous · Answer

Thanks to President Obama 95% of Americans got a tax break, we no longer torture people and Bush torture chamber has been ordered closed. Our troops are off the streets in Iraq and on their way home. The Stimulus package saved our economy from a second depression and our stock market is up. So yes we give President Obama credit where credit is due.
