Vice President Joe Biden, in a visit to George W. Bush's hometown, said Friday that President Barack Obama's ability to sell his agenda to Americans has been hampered by the failures of his predecessor.
Speaking at two Dallas fundraisers, Biden said the Bush administration soured the American people on government and politics with its out-of-control spending, severe job losses and mishandling of two wars.
"I did not anticipate the degree of cynicism that had been reached by the American public," he said during a lunchtime event at the home of Dallas lawyer Russell Budd. "The greatest damage the Bush administration did – more damaging than the recession, their foreign policy – was the loss of faith the American people had in their government to be able to deliver on anything."
Biden had similar remarks at a fundraiser hosted by Democratic donor Naomi Aberly at her northwest Dallas home.
"We inherited a cynical republic," he told the room full of Democrats there. "And I can't blame them. Eight years of collapse, eight years of being misled about wars."
Republicans were unmoved, accusing Biden and the administration of ignoring the public's dismay with the recently approved health care legislation.
"Perhaps Vice President Biden could take some time to listen to ordinary Americans and learn that tickets to his fundraisers aren't the only thing Texans cannot afford," the Republican National Committee said in a written statement.
It's All Bush's Fault. (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/032710dnmetbiden.1e79a36fc.html)
WTF? The economy was going along nicely until the DemonRats took control of congress, and the race for 2008 began. That is when almost every single MSM outlet started talking about how bad the economy was.

You really shouldn't talk about your boss that way, Joe.
