Anyone angry at 0bama is really just mad at Bush: brooklynite

I've figured out the hostility to the President, and its not "Obama Derangement Syndrome"...

...it's the transference of "Bush Derangement Syndrome". Some people are (justifiably) so angry at the Bush Administration that they are projecting the same behavior on President Obama:

Bush lied about foreign intelligence to get us into a war, so President Obama is lying about foreign intelligence to get us into a war.

Bush was seen as beholden to the "MIC", so President Obama must be as well.

Bush was a "warmonger", so President Obama is also.

Bush ordered military attacks without considering the consequences, so President Obama must be equally irresponsible.

My only question is: will they decide that Bush should have impeached, so.....

Umm...DUmmies? Bush had Congressional and UN approval,  plus 40 countries. 0bama has who? His wife?

Let's count the non-buyers:

4. You are a war apologist.

President Obama is a warmonger, even if he's telling the truth about the poison gas.

He is selling war, and you just bought it.

Or rather phase umpteen plus one of the forever war.

That will leave a mark.

8. Your premise is both implausible and absurd

People didn't just mysteriously somehow become "deranged". People
who worked and voted for Obama are pissed because he LIED HIS WAY
INTO OFFICE disguised as a candidate who is for "peace, hope & change,
transparency, civil liberties, etc. Obama then betrayed his supporters by
insisting that we not prosecute US war criminals, by giving Wall St.
everything it wants, by not closing Gitmo, by prosecuting whistleblowers,
etc.

but then you knew all that, right?

Not fair, hitting them with 0dumbo's "values."

15. Personality cultists see everything through the lense of personalities, I've noticed.

Have you ever considered that those critics might be looking at this in the context of long-standing US foreign policy, and not just being 'mean girls' to your hero?

Oooooh, SNAP.

And then I got bored.

I can't wait until ProSense comes with the latest talking points tomorrow - Bush will be responsible for Chernobyl, I imagine.

Chernobyl was done by Rove & Cheney. GWB is responsible for Fukushima. W was using the VRWC Seismic Event Device to make some good surf weather for Australia and miscalculated.   

Meh. Crap happens...

Well, they are at least being consistent about 0bama's failures all being Bush's fault.  

The reality is, 0bama is not only a democrat but he has black skin so therefore he can not be held accountable for his own actions. Anyone who dares hold him accountable is showing just how racist he or she is. The left believes that black people must not be held accountable for anything, and if they do something bad it is the responsibility of some cracker somewhere.

I like the line that Bush lied about foreign intelligence when the truth is, he stated exactly what foreign intelligence was saying.

Lies?....you say Bush lied so it's all his fault?....two can play that game.....LBJ lied, Gulf of Tokin, so it's all his fault.

Hey DUchebags, remember the last SMART Power!!!!!1111!!!!!elebinty limited war King Barky the Incompetent got us into for humanitarian reasons?

Libya which is now completely ****ed up and far worse than when run by Ghadaffi. Al Qaeda in control of most of the country, a bigger humanitarian disaster, dead ambassador, and 400+ SAMs in islamic terrorists hands....oh and oil output down from 1.4 million BPD to about 140 thousand BPD.Expect the same results only with chemical weapons in islamic terrorists hands.

I say we should never let anyone that attended the IV League schools, particularly Harvard, ever near the levers of power in our country again. Double so if the person was affirmative actioned into one of those schools. They just think they are too smart and consequently very easy to fool.
