Bush never blamed Clinton.

Obama can blame the Fed's actions (which is NOT controlled by the President) and also blame Congress (which was controlled by Democrats for the last two years). Obama can also blame himself for much of Congress' dismal policies because he was a member of Congress himself.

Obama is making himself look a fool for blaming Bush for the so-called inherited deficit and trouble he now oversees. He should look no further than his own party (Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, etc.) for the mortgage problem that dictated that unqualified people be allowed to purchase houses through Fannie and Freddie - something that Bush tried to change, but a Democratically controlled Congress saw fit to keep in place.

Obama and the Dumbocrats own this economic problem...and they are making it a thousand times worse with their stupid polices.

When you're dumb, anything you're told sounds reasonable, as long as the source is one you're preregistered for.

the infrastructure is in a sad state. dropping bombs on foreign countries does not in the long run promote recovery of the economy. it also makes lots of enemies which we dont need.
i guarantee you if the jews moved to louisiana tomarrow and left israel, the mid east would be fighting each other still. our boys could be back at pendleton having breakfast by saturday.

I was talking about the economy, which is what I specifically addressed. Bush had every right to blame failed policy on previous administrations for the terrorist attacks and Middle East problems.

Bush couldn't blame Clinton for economy. He inherited an era of budget surpluses, not seen in a LONG time.
Bush's foreign policy has created more enemies than friends. If a major terrorist attack were to happen now, you're likely to blame Obama. Then, why shouldn't Bush take accountability for 9/11 which happened under his watch?

Then you're totally offbase in that regard, too.

Bush inherited an economy that was just about the strongest in the postwar era. And a federal government running at a surplus. He had nothing economy-wise that he could blame Clinton for. Other than prosperity.

Your "point" is moot. That means meaningless.

Power! And the opportunity to make government larger with the intent of nationalizing a large part of private enterprise. We have put socialists in charge of the Congress and White House; as the American people wanted.

Clinton cut spending on defense and intelligence, which led to the problems in the Middle East.
