Obama Regime Report

I like how the MSM picks up on this like 6 months after the rest of the world. The liberals have been blaming him for 8 years so why would they stop now? Like Obama was going to soar above all that blog level discourse, yeah sure he was gonna do that...And of coarse the only dummies to buy this worn out and thin excuse are the same dumb fu*** that bought it before.

I even have a category called blame Bush on the blog just for wires stories like this one....

Sorry Barry, but when you signed off on the Porkulus package coupled with the equally unconstitutional Omnibus spending spree you bought it and you own it Brother, she's all yours from here on out, you tap dancing Barry Bojangles.

Even Bush's old guard is coming out to straighten out the newbie on the block ...

Cheney: Don't blame Bush team for economic woes:

">WASHINGTON (AP) -- Don't blame the Bush administration for all the country's economic problems.

That's the message from former Vice President Dick Cheney.

President Barack Obama constantly talks about the enormous economic troubles that he inherited when he took office in January. Cheney agrees that Obama did indeed came into power amid very difficult economic circumstances. continued

But Obama has no other choice, since he now knows he's gotten himself into something that he's not going to be able to cut and run from when the going gets tough like right from the start as this job requires and as he's done at EVERY SINGLE JOB HE'S EVER HAD!!!

He's a cut and runner and always has been, and he'll figure a way to cut and run on this one too like pretending he's sick or some lame assed excuse as this is way out of his pay scale....

Obama's new strategy: Blaming Bush for 'mess' -

Washington Post- msnbc.com: "In his inaugural address, President Obama proclaimed 'an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics.'

It hasn't taken long for the recriminations to return — or for the Obama administration to begin talking about the unwelcome 'inheritance' of its predecessor.

Over the past month, Obama has reminded the public at every turn that he is facing problems 'inherited' from the Bush administration, using increasingly bracing language to describe the challenges his administration is up against. The 'deepening economic crisis' that the president described six days after taking office became 'a big mess' in remarks this month to graduating police cadets in Columbus, Ohio.""By any measure," he said during a March 4 event calling for government-contracting reform, "my administration has inherited a fiscal disaster."

Obama's more frequent and acid reminders that former president George W. Bush left behind a trillion-dollar budget deficit, a 14-month recession and a broken financial system have come at the same time Republicans have ramped up criticism that the current president's policies are compounding the nation's economic problems.

Obama had initially been content to leave partisan defense strategy to his proxies, but as the fiscal picture has continued to darken, he has appeared more willing to risk his image as a politician who is above petty partisanship to personally remind the public of Bush's legacy.

His approval ratings remain strong — above 60 percent, according to the most recent Gallup poll — but have dropped from their highs almost entirely because of falling support among Republicans since he took office.

Special risks

Upon entering the White House in 2001, Bush pinned the lackluster economy on his predecessor, using the "Clinton recession" to successfully argue in favor of tax cuts that won some Democratic support. But for Obama, who built his candidacy on a promise to rise above Washington's divisive partisan traditions — winning over many independent voters and moderate Republicans in the process — blaming his predecessor holds special risks.

He will need support beyond his Democratic base as he begins lobbying for his $3.6 trillion budget, which proposes sweeping changes in health care, the energy sector and the public education system. The president did not receive a single House Republican vote for his stimulus plan, prompting some in his administration to view his bipartisan outreach efforts as having little hope of success.

And Republicans have seemed only more emboldened in their rhetoric. Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), for example, recently called the borrowing needed to fund the president's economic recovery plans "generational theft."

"What the administration is involved in now is the politics of attribution," said Lawrence R. Jacobs, a political scientist at the University of Minnesota. "Each week that goes by with falling job numbers and Republican criticism of the administration's flaws means falling approval ratings. What's the antidote? That the guilty party is George Bush."

"The trick," Jacobs said, "is how do you shift blame to George Bush and retain any credibility on the idea that you are looking past partisan warfare? This looks like a doubling down on a very partisan approach."
