Nor did Bush blame Democrats. The closest he came was saying that he inherited a recession which was simple fact. Nothing wrong with Obama saying the same, but what he is trying to do by blaming “the failed policies of the last 8 years” is not acknowledge truth, but to manufacture it and plant it in the public’s minds. Democrats are all too aware that “a lie oft repeated becomes truth” and have mastered the technique.
When Obama criticizes Bush, he doesn´t sound presidential, he sounds like he´s campaigning.

BINGO! It's all just smoke & mirrors. Bush will be the scapegoat for years to come, unfortunately. But, sooner or later, that's gonna get really tiresome & boring - even to some of the heaviest Kool-Aid drinkers.
ReplyDeleteNah, he just sounds like a punk.
ReplyDeleteWhile I disagree with him ideologically and fundamentally, I could at least respect him personally if he'd just demonstrate some class like both Bushes and Reagan did. But apparently he doesn't have what it takes to simply follow tradition.
