Someone please provide some actual examples where President Obama has used these words in this order...
"It's Bush's fault"

That's one of the things Republicans have been clinging to, that Obama's answer to everything is that "it's Bush's fault."

So it should be pretty easy for someone to provide some examples, say five or ten over the last four years. That should be pretty easy to do, right? I'm not looking for examples of other people saying it, but of President Obama himself actually saying this exact thing: "It's Bush's fault."

Maybe it's out there and I've missed it. This is your chance to prove me wrong, but I don't think he has ever actually said this. Let's see what you come up with, and maybe you can prove me wrong.

His lackeys say it. His WH talking heads have said it. The various big-wigs of the Democratic party have said it. They have also said variations of it like "the previous administration" or "the last 8 years". They all imply the same thing.

Give me an example where he has said it. I keep reading and hearing about how this is all he does. Why is it so hard to find a couple of examples?

Yeah, its the politically smart thing to do by not naming names, but he doesn't have to. Its all about the implications...doesn't change the situation at all though, so there is nothing to "prove" to you here.

You're playing words games so I won't play along. I don't care if he said three words in order or not. His whole campaign and presidency have been built on that premise. If you can't see that, you probably can't see that even though he hasn't said, "I am a communist, " that he has promoted all the ideology except for a couple of things, and those have suspicious rulings and laws coming down the pipeline. There is still hope for you to see the light, but if you can't even admit he blames Bush, then it might be hopeless.

OK, I'll mark you down as having nothing as well.

Fact check it for yourself, but this site lists about 15 times it has been done. As was said, you cant prove anything that never happened because Obama is smart enough to not specifically name Bush, but the terms "previous administration" and "past 8 years" mean exactly that and you are just being dense if you really think it means anything different.
