Really Again, Blame Bush?

Today left winger Paul Kruggman writes: "The Obama administration’s troubles are the result not of excessive ambition, but of policy and political misjudgments,"

He goes on to say this: "[] But he didn’t. Maybe he still dreams of bridging the partisan divide; maybe he fears the ire of pundits who consider blaming your predecessor for current problems uncouth — if you’re a Democrat. (It’s O.K. if you’re a Republican.) Whatever the reason, Mr. Obama has allowed the public to forget, with remarkable speed, that the economy’s troubles didn’t start on his watch."

Really? So Bush caused this 10% unemployment? So It was Bush's fault that we lost 85,000 jobs last month. Bush did that? Bush's policies the past year caused to spike in unemployment, the increase in foreclosures and the massive debt and deficit?

No let me tell you what Obama inherited, 7.6% unemployment. The stimulus wasn't enough Kruggman said in his article. He said it wasn't enough. Well i for one think it was more than enough. The stimulus that lead to the termination of 3 million jobs, the creation of around 100,000 jobs (the number is in huge dispute yet the WH claims 2 million, still less than the 3 million lost.) The stimulus that added 1 trillion. TRILLION to our deficit? This is all Bush's fault.

Obama came in with 7.6% unemployed. He was suppose to fix that, the stimulus was. Now the stimulus has run its course and we have 10%.

But this is all Bush's fault. You see really It was Bush who passed the stimulus. Bush is still secretly in office. Just ask Paul Kruggman, he'll tell ya, it's all Bush's fault. So i guess then, yeah he is still in office. - Oh wait! That's right he's not in office. The man is not president anymore. So stop blaming and take some damn responsibility!
