It turns out that there is absolutely nothing that Obama won’t blame on George Bush.
During an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Barack Obama said the following:
Here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.
“Here’s my assessment of why Camelot just flung out the Kennedy legacy and voted Republican for a seat that had been in Democrat hands since 1952: it’s Bush’s fault. People are angry at the failure of George Bush, and so they punished him by voting for the party of George Bush. Don’t blame me; I just work here.”
That’s right. George Bush is so evil, and did such a terrible job, that the voters of the most liberal state in the nation voted for a Republican. That’s your failure-in-chief’s “assessment.”
Kind of explains why everything the guy does has failed. He’s a rigid ideologue who thinks purely in terms of demagoguery. He lives in a little tiny black box and nothing gets in or out of that box.
In a way Obama is insulting his own campaign. Why did he win? Because people were angry. And the same sort of inchoate, unthinking, unreasoning anger that propelled him to victory is now propelling Republicans to victory.
It also ties into the historical narrative often played by the lamestream media: when Republicans do well, there has to be some dark reason for their success. The Republican Revolution was re-cast as “the year of the angry white male.” It’s hate. It’s anger. It’s racism.
What about the other liberal narrative, that Bush destroyed the economy, and even now, a year later, Obama is just being blamed for Bush’s failed policies?
When Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid took control of the House and the Senate back in 2006, unemployment was only 4.7%. Democrats demagogued their way to power in 2005 on the basis of screaming about Iraq and Hurricane Katrina; the economy was humming along. But once they took the House and the Senate, they got right to work destroying the economy with the same socialist big government garbage that they’re playing now. And then again after the economic meltdown of 2008, Democrats and their propaganda allies in the lamestream media pitched the demagogic narrative that the economic disaster had to have been George Bush’s fault because it happened during his watch. But didn’t it happen on Nancy Pelosi’s and Harry Reid’s watch, too?
What’s the unemployment rate now exactly three years after Democrats took over Congress?
And since Barack Obama took over from Bush, we have lost more jobs under Obama than ANY president has lost in ANY year since 1940.
Believe you me — there’s all kinds of reasons to hold Democrats responsible for the economic meltdown. Maybe it’s long past time you began to reconsider who really exploded the economy, Republicans or Democrats?
But as long as there is one slack-jawed, drooling imbecile in the country dumb enough to believe the Democrats’ demonizations, George Bush will keep getting blamed.
Hey, Obama, are you hoping for a little reverse psychology in November, that people will be so angry at the total failure otherwise known as Barack Hussein that they’ll vote for Democrats?
It is long past time that ordinary people realized that every single time Democrats try to blame Bush they are acknowledging their own failure to lead. They are openly admitting, “Don’t ask us to solve any problems. We’re just demagogues. All we can do is blame someone else.”
