Verities & Balderdash...
Obama is victim of
Bush’s failed promises
Edited by Bob Robinson
I’ve seen this several times over the years, but I figured it was about
time to pass it on to those poor souls who might have missed it... and
are still blaming former President of the United States George W. Bush
for the Obama administration’s mishaps.
It’s attributed to a “Democrat reporter, Chuck Green.” This may be
true; it may not. I believe I checked it out once but can’t remember if
I was ever able to run it down.
Regardless, that’s my disclaimer and I stand by it. So here it is, in
it’s original form...
Obama is victim of Bush’s failed promises
By a Democrat reporter, Chuck Green.
I think it is time that we asked George Bush to step aside so that
Obama can get his presidency going.
Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his
first term in office:
Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of broken
promises ever. Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of
agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever!
Wow! Talk about change.
Just over two years ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations,
President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation’s most
inspiring political campaigns, the election of America ‘s first black
president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout
followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration
would be gripped in self-imposed crisis.
Of course, they don’t see it as self-imposed. It’s all George Bush’s
fault! George Bush, who doesn’t have a vote in congress and who no
longer occupies the White House, is to blame for it all.
He broke Obama’s promise to put all bills on the White House web site
for five days before signing them.
He broke Obama’s promise to have the congressional health care
negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.
He broke Obama’s promise to end earmarks.
He broke Obama’s promise to keep unemployment from rising above 8
percent.
He broke Obama’s promise to close the detention center at Guantanamo in
the first year.
He broke Obama’s promise to make peace with direct, no precondition
talks with America ‘s most hate-filled enemies during his first year in
office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.
He broke Obama’s promise to end the hiring of former lobbyists into
high White House jobs.
He broke Obama’s promise to end no-compete contracts with the
government.
He broke Obama’s promise to disclose the names of all attendees at
closed White House meetings.
He broke Obama’s promise for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all
matters.
He broke Obama’s promise to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday
services with his family by Easter.
Yes, it’s all George Bush’s fault! President Obama is nothing more than
a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration.
If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, all of President Obama’s
problems would be solved. His promises would have been kept, the
economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on
developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with
Israel. North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and
integrity would have been restored to the federal government.
Oh, and did I mention what it would be like, if the Democrats, under
the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn’t have the heavy
yoke of George Bush around their necks? There would be no ear marks, no
closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no
special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying (Nebraska,
Louisiana).
If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, we’d have real change by
now.
All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health
care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama’s fault or the
fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It’s all George Bush’s fault!
Take for example the attempt of Eric Holder, the president’s attorney
general, to hold terrorists’ trials in New York City. Or his decision
to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian. Two
disastrous decisions.
Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George
Bush!
Need more proof?
You might recall when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate
from Massachusetts, capturing “The Ted Kennedy Seat”, President Obama
said, Brown’s victory was the result of the same voter anger that
propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were still angry about
George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years. And they wanted
change.
Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts,
was George Bush’s fault.
Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy
seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats. It is all
George Bush’s fault !
Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time
for hope and change ever arrive ???
Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something /
anything?
It’s Bush’s Fault!
Oh... by the way. I think I heard somebody quote G.W. as saying
something like... “Miss me yet?”
