Barack Obama: George Bush Is the "Real Outrage"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, February 6, 2010, 4:44 PM
Barack Obama blasted former President George W. Bush today saying his administration was the “real outrage.”
George Bush didn’t do this.
He didn’t triple the deficit in one year… And then joke about it.
The Daily Caller reported:
Speaking at the Democratic National Committee winter meeting at the Capitol Hilton in snow-drenched Washington today, President Obama touted new figures from the Labor Department showing a 0.3 percent decrease in the unemployment rate and took a few shots at former President Bush.
Faced with mounting national opposition to his party’s platform, the president reminded voters the real reason the trillion-dollar stimulus package still hasn’t reduced unemployment to 8 percent as promised: Bush did it, and it’ll take a lot of time to undo it.
“The country cannot return to the “dereliction of duty that helped deliver this recession,” Obama said. He added that the previous administration’s role in the economic meltdown was the “real outrage.”

This has been wearing a little thin for quite some time, B-O. Not only are the wheels coming off the bus, sparks are flying off the rims as you try to continue down the road.
Need some new ammo, Princess? Watch President-elect Palin tonight give the wrap-up at the Tea Party Convention. She’s going to show you America’s future. And it doesn’t include you.

This Obama guy has no style and is the worst president of all. When Obama took the office he knows what he had to confront and promised to change to the better. But officially, repeatedly, Domestically and Internationally put down Bush, this is a weakness on his behalf and has never happened before the the US history. Shame on you Obama. There are much better qualified men and women who could do a better job then you.
But what else can you expect from a men in an empty suit.

That’s right… Not having a super majority means that Democrats might just be faced with an actual responsibility to…… “compromize” or something.
So they will just press on… (blame) (blame)

Yup, the real problem is not the poor governance by this administration: they are intelligence and clarity personified. It’s all us stupid people who have no clue about what our betters want to do for us.
This level of unreality, of adamant refusal to recognize that reasonable people may differ in their approach, is deadly to a political party.
Both Houses of Congress will be up for grabs in no more than two election cycles. The Republicans could do it in the next cycle, provided they shoot for the middle. I don’t think that will happen.
The Tea Partiers need to not only prepare for election, but governance.

Young man, you put that finger down and stop blaming your cousin. I’m getting tired of that. A man has to take responsibility some time. That’s what makes him a man, and not a little boy. And don’t you look down your nose at me–put it on that grindstone over there. Get to work. Don’t look around for someone to blame, and forget about playing for a while. You have a big boy job now, so it’s time to quit yapping about the work and start doing it. Now, I’ll be back when it’s time for a break, and you better have something done.
Little David Puddy commented:
I have incredible respect for Former President Bush and his wife. As Jim has pointed out many times, he is resposible for liberating more people from tyranny and repression than any human being since WWII. He also, with his aid to Africa, saved more African Lives than any person who has ever walked the planet earth, despite the accusations that George Bush hates Black people. (Quoting Kanye West)
However, it is time for Mr. Bush to end his silence and fight back against this absolute moron who is bankrupting the country. This idiot, (Obama of course) has done nothing but berate the former President for 3+ years, despite the long and time honered tradition of New President’s not criticizing there predessors.
Not only does this corrupt retard (Sorry Govenor Palin) constantly berate Mr. Bush, it’s his main domestic policy. Blame Bush.
I would finally like to see Mr. Bush start to do interviews where he defends himself and his administration and points out where Obama is lying, which is just about everything that comes out of his despicable mouth. Bush has sat back and taken every blow the current hemmerhoid in chief has given with class and integrity, but know is the time for Mr. Bush to drop the gloves and defend his legacy from the constant attacks from this Jack Ass in the White House.
Obama is a classless loser and will probobly be led from the oval office in handcuffs at some point in the future.
I can say one thing for sure, President Bush is a better man than I am.

The Fool On The Hill
Day after day,
Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hear him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.
And he never listens to them,
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
Ooh,
Round and round and round

Bring it on: When will a media member yell out, Sept. 11, 2001 was the cause of economic problems of George Bush! And was the completion of an act that began in 1993 by the same people. Have a few facts and figures on hand. The left HATES when you bring up 9/11, in fact they are convinced it never happened. Soros gets outraged if you even mention it. He feels it was strictly a small bank robbery–if that. The fact is the economy of the world changed on 9/11. Our whole way of life was half killed. Corrupt politicians did the rest. Keep mentioning it over and over, every time Obama mentions Bush. P.S. Obama BEGGED for this job. If he finds it so difficult he should quit.

obama couldn’t carry President George W. Bush’s jock strap. obama is the worst president in american history. Instead of worrying about the superbowl, obama should spend time on the economy and Haiti, since he is doing a horrible job taking care of both.
Valerie commented:
bg,
Between BO and the OCampaign, we have a broad array of conflicting promises. There is no way to fulfill any of them without being accused, rightly, of breaking the converse.
I was hoping that the BO administration would be a whole lot smarter than this. They could have been, if they had been willing to use experienced, smart, pragmatic, centrist Democrats as their advisors. For example, Barack Obama could have consulted Joe Lieberman on foreign policy, instead of Zbigniew Brzezinski.
We’ve got an Attorney General that can’t recognize a legal issue even AFTER it has bit him in the a$$! And a President, who pretended to have been a Constitutional Law professor, who doesn’t have sense enough to ask the date of the precedential opinion being overturned
jonyjoe101 commented:
They need to check to see if he wears panties, because he talks like a girlyman always blaming bush.
At least Bush wasn’t an illegal alien.
What I find interesting is that Bush has never badmouth obama, Bush has rarely spoken publicly since he retired. Obama needs to be a “man” and just leave Bush to enjoy his retirement in peace.
Greg commented:
* On March 14, 2008, then Sen. Obama voted in favor of the 2009 budget which authorized $3.1 trillion in federal outlays along with a projected $400 billion deficit. The 51-44 vote that morning was strongly along party lines with only two Republicans saying “Yes.”
* When the final conference report was presented to the House on June 5, not one Republican voted for it.
* This means the 2009 budget was almost exclusively approved by Democrats, with “Yeas” coming from Obama, his Vice President Joe Biden, his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
* On October 1, 2008, Obama, Biden, and Clinton voted in favor of the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program designed to prevent teetering financial institutions from completely destroying the economy.
* In February, 2009, a $787 billion stimulus bill was passed with just three Republican votes, and later signed by Obama.
* Weeks later, Congress approved and Obama signed $410 billion of additional spending.
Add it all up, and Obama approved every penny spent in fiscal 2009 either via his votes in the Senate or his signature as President.
sandy commented:
Obama can blame this economic mess on anyone he likes but the American People will blame him. The Congressional Democrats know it and are backing away from him and his agenda. But Obama is jealous that we will elect another President and times will be good again. So he will keep telling us how great he is and blaming us for not being grateful to him for what we have.

Yeeps. I read my comment much earlier: it probably needed a “/s” between the first and second paragraphs.
The Slate article essentially takes the position that Americans are too spoiled and stupid to properly appreciate this marvelous presidency.
That kind of snide disrespect of ordinary Americans tends to lead to enormous failures at the polls.
I think the Repubs should welcome all comers, including all the centrists, independents, PUMAs and Democrats that voted for Joe Lieberman. That would mean putting aside the silly game of playing “who’s the RINO?” I think the Tea Party should take some time to organize themselves and form a platform, and then should demand a warm welcome from the Republicans.
The reason I say this is because third parties do not fare well in our system. So, I view the Republican party as the most tenable framework for reversing the inept, radical course of action of the current Democratic party.
I think that course needs to be reversed. The notion that we need to completely revise our economy and make it more like the failed models in the USSR and Europe makes no sense at all. We can do better than that. We don’t need to implement a bunch of old, bad ideas that we already know won’t turn out well.
The fascination with radical change rather than a light touch, and the contempt for the ordinary minds of ordinary people are signs of catastrophic inexperience.

Obama has a totally different agenda than the

consult Lieberman, hah, don’t think his minders would allow that,
not even for appearances sake (and they ace in the deceit category)..
bottom line: with the exception of they could
have been (fact is they aren’t), i concur..

While, I, too, groan to read another “blame Bush” pronouncement from the current White-House occupant, I do not share the nostalgia for GWB. While better than Obama, he was not that great — can we not face up to that harsh truth? If we cannot do better than EITHER GWB or Obama, let me posit that this country is in deep trouble. (Well, I guess we already knew that!) Anyway, may I exhort one and all to stop looking back, and start looking forward… and, damn it, we DO need to find the right person to run against “the One” in 2012!

As Governor Palin reminded us, Friday would have been Ronald Reagan’s 99th birthday. Let us remember one of his classics: “There he goes again!” He was speaking after a deadly Carter whine but how appropriate given similarly clueless and incompetent foreign policie chops. Bush is far too intelligent and classy to imitate Carter. Bush is a true patriot, not a partisan egomaniac.
