For the last several years now, Barack Obama has been wearing the “Blame Bush” diaper and he shows no sign that he is willing to get weaned into the Big Boy pants of the Presidency. But Obama’s diaper is full and it needs changing.
Obama has repeatedly told America that looking ahead and not back is his perspective:
I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards.
Yet his current campaign strategy is anything but that:
The White House’s mid-term election strategy is becoming clear – pit the Democrats of 2010 against the Republicans circa 2006, 2008 and 2009, including Bush.
The whining continues:
“For the better part of 10 years, folks faced stagnant incomes, skyrocketing health care costs and tuition bills, and declining economic security,” Mr. Obama said in a speech at a Kansas City, Mo., electric vehicle plant. “It was in the middle of this crisis that my administration walked through the door.”
And now he has really personalized it:
At an Atlanta fundraiser last night, President Obama said that the Republicans who want to take back Congress “don’t have a single idea that’s different from George W. Bush’s ideas. Not one. Instead, they’re betting on amnesia.”
I have repeatedly said here that Obama is full of crap, and he is full of crap. It is worth noticing that the “last eight years” has now become the “last ten years.” Obama has been President for the last 1 1/2 years, so Obama is unwittingly blaming his own term for the problems he has allegedly inherited.
Barack Obama would have you believe that he fell from outer space directly into the Presidency. You’d never know from the lies that spew from his mouth that he was ever in the US Senate. You’d never know that he did NOTHING to try to reign in costs of government. You’d never know he voted to make every Bush budget larger and never voted to cut spending ever. And this is where Republicans shoot themselves in the collective foot. They need to remind America that Obama was part of the “last eight years” or “last ten years.” They need to remind America that Obama and his Democrat moron colleagues controlled ALL of Congress for the last three of those eight or ten years. Republicans need to remind America that the problems we suffer now are in no small part a consequence of Democrat control of Congress for the last three years.
What specifically did Obama do to improve “stagnant incomes, skyrocketing health care costs and tuition bills, and declining economic security” while he was a US Senator? What did Democrats do when they got control?
Nothing.
Republicans may be betting on amnesia, but so are Democrats.
Being the “Party of No” may not be the greatest platform (I actually think it’s a good one) but blaming Bush is a lousy one. Obama’s been in office for 18 months. Democrats have controlled Congress for three years.
Obama needs to change his diaper. It’s as full of sh*t as he is.

In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.

Except for liberals being foolish.
