Found on Democratic Underground...........
"Source: Associated Press
In its first report to Congress, the Wartime Contracting Commission presents a bleak assessment of how tens of billions of dollars have been spent since 2001. The 111-page report, obtained by The Associated Press, documents poor management, weak oversight, and a failure to learn from past mistakes as recurring themes in wartime contracting.

Obama walked in to pile of stuff when he took office caused by Bush,Cheney,Rumsfield and others in Bush Inc. but he now
gets all the blame. T'aint right I tell ya....it ain't right at all.
0bama laughs at a paltry tens of billions of dollars.
Besides, 0bama was in the senate during Bush's last two years, and he voted with the Democratic majority 99.9% of the time. Can you demonstrate were 0bama brought up alternative legislation, or were he voted against domestic spending. 0bama was right there voting for all the pork, all the bailouts, and voted for Geithner's TARP plan too.
0bama did not inherit anything that he did not take part in creating, and he displays weakness to America, and the world, every time he whines about it.
Either 0bama has a solution, or he doesn't. A president can enter office during tough times, and to illustrate a new direction, he can compare his new plans, for a solution, to the past solutions, to contrast them. But 0bama is crying about what he inherited to try and deflect criticism away from the mess he is making of the economy.
If you have a leaky pipe in your basement and hire a plumber, and now your basement floor is being flooded. You want the pipes fixed, and your house back in order, you do not want to hear the plumber whining about why its not his fault its flooding. You hired him, he took the job to fix the leak, and you do not want to listen to him complain about it like a petulant child.
Alan Auerbach, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, and an author of a widely cited study on the dangers of the current deficits, describes the situation like so: “Bush behaved incredibly irresponsibly for eight years. On the one hand, it might seem unfair for people to blame Obama for not fixing it. On the other hand, he’s not fixing it.” “And,” he added, “not fixing it is, in a sense, making it worse.”

exactly like my plumber analogy. He could have shut off the water main to the house first, he could have used a bucket to catch the water before hand, he could have done a lot of things deiiferently, but the basement is flooding, and complaining about it only makes the plumber look incompetent, irresponsible and maybe he just does not know what he is doing; buyer's remorse.
He was pretty good at ducking any responsibility............
Would that be like hussein obama blaming every action he takes on Bush?
Uh ummm uh err ummm Bush uh he you know uh Bush left uh me with a mess uh hmmm
We are all waiting for hussein obama to man up or do you think he will spend his entire time in office (let's pray it's short) blaming his every action on Bush. We all understand personal responsibility is not part of the liberl credo.

They're going through names trying to find one that demeans him the most. They're doing the same thing with labels. They started with liberal, then moved onto socialist,and now are trying communist and fascist. All the right has to offer in the form of ideas lately is name calling.

What are the Presidential tricks and tools that parallel those of the plumber in your analogy? Are they injections of capital into a banking system facing a liquidity shortage? Promoting a market in which to liquidate troubled assets? Lending to industries caught in an economic morass? Ramped up payments for food stamps and unemployment benefits? Tax cuts? Aid to support state budgets? Investments in national infrastructure of various types?
