So not only will you not discuss Bill Clinton, and you have unsuccessfully deflected to GWB, you now jump over to Mitt Romney.

And you guys wonder why we laugh and mock your types whenever we encounter you? It's like going to a carnival......we've come to expect some level of idiocy no matter the circumstance.

Then they simply label you as "frustrated & angry" to avoid further embarrassing themselves.

It's hilarious.

As much as I hate to admit it the left wing media still has a big effect on voter's opinions. They spent 8 years denigrating W and it took hold with the majority of Americans. Many Americans don't understand that what sunk the economy was the housing collapse that was started by Clinton with his adaptation of the CRA and prolonged by the democrats with their adoration of Fanny and Freddie. W did more to decimate Al Qaeda than just take out Osama and even that success by Obama was helped by W's work in interrogations. He prevented any attacks on our soil after 911. W got no credit for ending the Iraq War even though it was a done deal when he left office. Yes the wars cost a lot of money. But they helped take the fight away from our soil. And the fighting was done by our trained stellar troops instead of by local authorities.
I hope they keep running on blaming Bush!

Got you. So just to recap, you said:

There you go. You posit that if Obama is to take the responsibilty for the last 4 years, Bush must also take the responsibility for the preceding 8. Those are YOUR words. So again I ask you, when does the GOP start to take responsibility for Bush's 8 years in office instead of pretending they never happened and this whole crisis didn't begin until January 20, 2009?

You laugh and mock because there is nothing else a failure can do.

You're supporting a party that has no ideas, no interest in government, is pandering to a rapidly shrinking demographic, and considers needless war an economic stimulus. George Bush looms large, because he presided over the disintegration of the Republican party to this state. In your desperation to blame somebody, anybody for the failures of his administration, you're pointing at Bill Clinton. You mock and laugh because that is what passes for cogent news analysis on conservative websites. But it's nothing to laugh over, this state of affairs is desperately, pathetically sad. You mock and laugh because that's what worked in the third grade, and you've never gotten much farther than that in your social skills.

The list of Obama's accomplishments that have improved the lives of many Americans has been listed over and over again right here on CD. The right ignores it just as they ignore Bush's role in an economic disaster.

Worth repeating...NOBODY cuts taxes during a war...Bush got us into two. Wall Street partied hardy and Eliot Spitzer was blown out of the water because of his potential crackdown and whistle blowing on The Bush/Cheney Crime Family and the banksters.

Why Bush Watergated Eliot Spitzer

That's not what I "posited" at all. What I "posited" is that if liberals insist on blaming George W Bush for his 8 years in office, then they must also insist on blaming Barack Obama for his 4 years in office. You can't blame George W. Bush for 12 years. That was the point. You missed it.

But the GOP can act like Obama is responsible for the last 12 years, right? That must be true, because we hear absolutely nothing from the GOP about anything that happened before 1/20/09, during Bush's term. It's as if it all began to go down hill the moment President Obama took office. You can't have it both ways.

2007 seems to be when things started going south in the Bush years, just in time for Nancy and crew to take hold of the purse strings.

How about pulling your head out of the sand a realizing both parties got us into this mess and it's been festering for decades.
