I think that they plan to stop that crap about the summer of 2012. Surely not before that since Obama has convinced himself that he inherited more problems than any other President. Cry baby is what he needs to be known as, CryBaby in Chief. CIC

They will never give up their "It's Bush's fault" rallying cry, it's what allows them to run up a $1.5 trillion dollar deficit and not feel any guilt... because... "It's Bush's fault!"

I don't blame Bush for all our problems, however, life seemed much better before that tyrant took over our country. I remember an oral/oval office affair being our main "problem" in the 90's, but the gas prices, and economy were great. People could progress and travel and explore...now we are at a halt with a stagnant economy, millions out of jobs and a major attack on our home soil. So yeah I 'd say it's legit to blame Bush since our downfall happened as soon as he took office. Obama won't be able to even come close to fixing the destruction that the Bush Admin took 8 years to cause. What Bush did to our country/world will take 20 or 30 or more years to fix. Not to blame Bush totally, but he did have a big hand in the demise that has taken place.

This morning on Drudge I saw the following headline: "President Obama: Federal Government 'Will Go Bankrupt' if Health Care Costs Are Not Reined In." Is Obama delusional or what? Has he already forgotten the massive bailout money that he and his crew shoved down our throats with no idea how to pay for it other than just printing the money. And now he wants palm the blame off on health care costs? I can't recall another administration in my lifetime that has been so whiny and so insistant on crying, "It's not my fault!" The Obama administration is the biggest herd of finger-pointers that ever was.

As an Obama supporter I have to say that while he means well there is no way he can fix in 4 or 8 years what Bush did. Bush got to destroy then step onto that plane and wave goodbye. It's not really finger pointing at a party, but anyone that can't see the way our country has changed (for the worse) since Bush got in there is obviously blind by choice.
