Obama is a victim of Bush's failed promises
Barack Obama is setting
a record-setting number of records during his first year in
office.
Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of
broken promises ever. Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of
agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever.
Wow. Talk
about change.
Just one year ago, fresh from his inauguration
celebrations, President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation’s most
inspiring political campaigns, the election of America’s first black president
had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout followers, it was
inconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped in
self-imposed crisis.
Of course, they don’t see it as self imposed. It’s
all George Bush’s fault.
George Bush, who doesn’t have a vote in Congress
and who no longer occupies the White House, is to blame for it all.
He
broke Obama’s promise to put all bills on the White House web site for five days
before signing them.
He broke Obama’s promise to have the congressional
health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.
He broke Obama’s
promise to end earmarks.
He broke Obama’s promise to keep unemployment
from rising above 8 percent.
He broke Obama’s promise to close the
detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.
He broke Obama’s
promise to make peace with direct, no pre-condition talks with America’s most
hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of
global cooperation.
He broke Obama’s promise to end the hiring of former
lobbyists into high White House jobs.
He broke Obama’s promise to end
no-compete contracts with the government.
He broke Obama’s promise to
disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.
He
broke Obama’s promise for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all
matters.
He broke Obama’s promise to have chosen a home church to attend
Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year.
Yes, it’s all
George Bush’s fault. President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the
never-ending, failed Bush administration.
If only George Bush wasn’t
still in charge, all of President Obama’s problems would be solved. His promises
would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have
stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace
treaty with Israel, North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and
integrity would have been restored to the federal government.
Oh, and did
I mention what it would be like if the Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy
Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn’t have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their
necks. There would be no earmarks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase
in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying
(Nebraska, Louisiana).
If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge,
we’d have real change by now.
All the broken promises, all the failed
legislation and delay immigration reform is not President Obama’s fault or
the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It’s all George Bush’s
fault.
Take for example the decision of Eric Holder, the president’s
attorney general, to hold terrorists’ trials in New York City. Or his decision
to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.
Two disastrous
decisions.
Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from
George Bush.
Need more proof?
You might recall that when Scott
Brown won last month’s election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing
“the Ted Kennedy seat,” President Obama said that Brown’s victory was the result
of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were
still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years, and they
wanted change.
Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in
Massachusetts was George Bush’s fault.
Therefore, in retaliation,
they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of
domination by Democrats.
It is all George Bush’s fault.
If
only George Bush wasn’t still in charge of the oil spill cleanup in the
gulf.
The bad call
by umpire Jim Joyce that cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game. Darn that Bush!!
Crappy popcorn due to
discontinuance of coconut oil at movie theaters. Has to be be Bush's fault.
It is Bush's fault that
members of the Obama administration offered jobs to democrat party members to
keep them from running for office. They only did that on advice from
Bush.
He was on the "grassy
knoll", the source of the lingering odor outside the Oval Office bathroom and he
invented the Chia-Obama.
My HP All-In-One printer
isn't compatible with Windows 7. Thank you George Bush.
Will the failed
administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for hope and change ever
arrive?
Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something —
anything?
