Blame Game, revisited ...

Putting aside for the moment Obama's jihads against Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, consider this:


Krauthammer: On Obama’s San Francisco speech complaining that he and Nancy Pelosi are mopping up “someone else’s mess”:

It is defensive with a touch of desperation. It is almost ridiculous to be running against George Bush — that's what the mess that he refers to is — you know, nine months in….He was elected almost a year ago now. So he pretends that he is the guy that is mopping up.

Look, he has got all kinds of troubles.

He is dithering on Afghanistan, a war he said had to be won, essential war, et cetera.

He is the guy who has lost his popularity at an alarming rate — and support of
independents — over health care — [which is] his initiative, on which he has given, what, 28 speeches — and still has the majority of Americans opposing it.

He is the one who caved in to the Russians on missile defense. He sold out our friends the Poles and the Czechs supposedly as a way to get Russian support on Iran. He sends the secretary of state, [and] this week she gets humiliated in Moscow and the Russians indicate they won't help or budge on Iran at all.

This is all his doing. It is not the Bush doing.

So what does he have on his account? A stimulus package which hasn't done anything to the economy except create an undeniable $1 trillion dollar debt that is going to be added on to our debt at a time when the dollar is under attack.

Look, this is his doing and you can't complain until the end of time over what his predecessor has done. I think it's a little bit unseemly to walk around as president once you are in office this length and to pretend it is all the fault of your predecessor.
