There's a reason we need to keep reminding people about GWB

There's a reason we need to keep reminding people about George W. Bush:

The other day, Rep. Ed Markey made the following mundane but true observation:

For years, the Bush administration's oil strategy placed the granting of drilling leases ahead of safety review.

This irked Neil Cavuto no end:

Ipso-facto — Bush to blame for the big leak-o.

Just like he's apparently behind that big thousand-point swing-o.

Just like he's to blame for the unemployment rate that's higher than when he left office, and the deficits that are much higher than any year he was in office.

All problems, all Bush, all the time — probably until the end of time.

Cavuto wants a "statute of limitations" on blaming Bush. "Just give it a break," he pleaded.

Nuh-uh.

It's true that the miseries we're currently enduring are not merely the fault of the sole personage of George W. Bush, the man now widely viewed by conservatives as The Man Who Betrayed Conservative Values. He had lots and lots of help. In fact, he had millions of little helpers -- all those movement conservatives who now want to pretend that he wasn't a real conservative.

This is because, in reality, Bush is The Man Who Nearly Destroyed the American Economy. It wasn't Bush's "betrayal" of the "conservative values" they believe are so time-honored and proven that caused his abysmal failure -- it was those values themselves, and Bush's steady adherence to them throughout his tenure. Right-wingers like Cavuto and everyone else at Fox, however, simply cannot accept this cold reality; the resulting cognitive dissonance has now driven them pretty much insane.

The conservative approach to mis-governance comes up at every turn today for the liberals and centrists now dealing with repairing the damage, from managing the economy back onto its feet to fighting the two wars Bush got us into to coping with environmental disasters produced by his safety regulations. And it would be stupid to pretend that it's not what we're dealing with.

Because you see, if we don't constantly remind people of the disastrous consequences of conservative rule, they start listening to people like the talking heads at Fox News. They start forgetting just who got them into this big damned mess in the first place. Some of them even start blaming liberals for it (especially the hard-core insane conservative defenders).

We can't let that happen. Conservatives need to be slapped with the Bush legacy on a daily basis. Sure, they'll whine. But they have it coming

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8366916

Just wait until we slap you with the Obama legacy on a daily basis. Sure you will whine and cry but, you have it coming.

Bush made some mistakes yes but, Obama is making it worse. There needs to come a time when Obama grows the hell up and starts taking responsibility for his actions.

1. it's the conservative philosophy which is to blame for the economy, this oil spill....
   
so many things. because they believe in letting businesses do whatever they want with no one making sure they are following any rules. who needs rules!! but when they hit the wall and take us all with them, then we need to fix it for them. so no regulations, but bailouts. privatize the profits and nationalize the cleanup?? yet people sit with funny hats and signs and bitch about democrats. now arguably it sure seems there are plenty of dems who are more interested in making their corporate sponsors happy just like the republicans, but the republicans don't give a damn who gets hurt.... i think the dems at least care who gets hurt.

You are so full of shit. Business, and oil companies are already highly regulated. And you dumb asses sit there and act as if BP is doing nothing to clean this up. They are spending a shit ton of money to clean this up meanwhile you goons and lord zero bitch and whine.

Well of course it's Bush's fault.  Everything that went wrong since JFK freed the slaves is Bush's fault, after all.

If Bush used executive fiat to bypass congress and not enforce regulations then Obama could have used the same executive fiat to re-establish those regulations, just like he used to--erm--close Gitmo.

What I want to know is how Bush made the Obama administration give BP such a good rating. Model of excellence and all that.

i think the dems at least care

A very stupid belief to hold.  Democrats in general, and specifically liberals, only care about themselves and they've proven that time and time again.  If a lib sees a homeless person, they don't care about them except that it makes them "feel" bad to have to witness it.  That general viewpoint of life carries over to everything they believe.

The common question which will be asked:

"How long will they be able to get away with blaming Bush?"

The answer--as long as they get idiots to believe it.  They can turn this economy into a ****ing shambles, and when questioned, just blame Bush, and keep right on going.  At some point, reasonable people are going to see through this facade the liberals and Obama have put up, and when that day comes...

If it were not for Bush the NAZIs would have never bombed Pearl Harbor.

Well, that mere 'Fact' wouldn't stop them from blaming him, but they really don't give a shit about the Holocaust, either, so the subject isn't likely to ever come up.

"There's a reason we need to keep reminding people about GWB"

also read as: "We ain't got nuttin' but old news - but lets use it anyway !"

Listen - people are expecting Obama to man up - he wanted the job and claimed he could 'fix' it all. Seems he can't. ANd all that 'mess he inherited' crap is getting old. If he is still incapable of doing what he promised he would a year and a half in, its obvious to me that either he ;

lied.
sucks at his job.
both of the above.

And its not just 'Bush's mess' either...
Explain DADT -- nothing to fix -- just change the rule..
Explain "Closing Gitmo" -- again, nothing to fix, just do it..

etc etc etc.. 

If Obama can't do the comparatively simple things he promised, I suspect he wont do or can't do anything at all.
