5 Things Obama Can't Blame On Bush
President Obama and his team spent most of last year blaming President G.W. Bush for just about everything that went wrong. So what can we expect from the Bush-bashing White House in 2010?

In year two of their administration, the Obama team may have to find another whipping boy if things continue to go wrong. Americans will likely tire of Obama’s buck-passing, and indeed there will be some events that the most ardent Bush-o-phobes cannot credibly link to G.W. Here, for instance, are five likely developments that I don’t believe can reasonably be laid at the feet of the 43rd president:

1) George Bush did not create the earthquake that destroyed Port-au-Prince. (I think we are on solid ground here, so to speak.) Obama can, however, pin what will undoubtedly be a messy clean-up effort on G.W. who, along with Bill Clinton, has volunteered to help raise relief money for the stricken country. As lawlessness and disease become the heartbreaking second and third wave of misery in Haiti, a desperate Obama administration will make Bush and Clinton the fall-guys for our inability to magically fix Haiti’s problems. It will be noted, and ignored by many, that Haiti is just about the most corrupt country in the world, in thrall to Chavez and Castro, and that its poverty was already the worst in the hemisphere—having nothing to do with G.W. Bush.

2) George Bush did not create the health care bill. The disliked legislation has become an enormous millstone around the neck of Democrats, and it is entirely Obama’s handiwork. It has become a grab-bag of possibly unconstitutional favors to one group after another and a financial pit that will never be filled. Despite continued haranguing by the President, the ever-sensible American people – and most obviously the voters in Massachusetts -- know this is a disaster. Assuming that the Democrats are successful in passing some sort of watered-down bill, we will witness ongoing wrangling over attempts to cut Medicare spending, efforts to penalize those who do not sign up for insurance, small businesses struggling to pay for workers’ coverage, and increasing delays in accessing doctors and health facilities as millions of Americans jump to take advantage of free medical care.

3) George Bush is not to blame for Obama’s anti-business bias. Industry, under attack by this administration, may well continue uncertain and distracted, leading decision-makers to defer hiring. Though the decennial Census will temporarily boost hiring this spring by more than one million workers, and though the stimulus bill will kick in more forcefully in coming months, job growth may disappoint. Neither the government nor the consumer can provide the spending surge we need to put people back to work; a robust private sector is essential. Unhappily, this president, weaned on community organizing, views business as the enemy. His emboldened associates at the Justice Department, EPA, Interior Department and elsewhere are socking businesses with increased regulations, investigations and fees, undermining business leaders just when their confidence needs boosting.

4) It will not be George Bush’ s fault that the trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his associates turns into a circus. Despite the best efforts of NYC Police Commissioner Kelly and his ranks, and despite an estimated cost of $215 million in the first year alone, there is no doubt that the absurd decision to try these terrorists in our most targeted urban center will prove a nightmare. Let us hope that the only attacks emanating from the trial are only verbal.

5) It is not because of George Bush that the despots running Iran, North Korea and Venezuela continue to resist President Obama’s overtures. Though our new leader has unclenched his fist, and delivered any number of stirring speeches, our relations with these nations will not improve. These countries face ruined economies and restless populations; they need a foil – a predicament all too familiar to President Obama.



President Obama PROMISES KEPT:

1. “Date Night.” The first husband promised to take his wife, Michelle out for a “date night” in New York City – and he did. But it came at huge taxpayer expense with Secret Service blanketing Broadway and stopping NYC traffic. An enjoyable, if expensive, time was had by all.

2. “Dog.” He promised to get his children a dog. Bo the Portuguese water dog and the first daughters apparently get along fine. Given the crowded state of animal shelters during the recession, Bo is one lucky pup. Not so the American people.

Obama Gets 'F' on Stopping Spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction

A bipartisan, independent commission on stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction says that the Obama administration has failed in its first year in office to do enough to prevent a germ weapons attack on America or to respond quickly and effectively should such an attack occur.

In a 19-page “report card” being published today, the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction, Proliferation and Terrorism, chaired by former Senators Bob Graham, a Democrat from Florida, and Jim Talent, a Missouri Republican, gives the new administration the grade of “F” for failing to take key steps the commission outlined just over a year ago in its initial report.

Specifically, the commission concludes that the Obama administration, like the three administrations before it, has failed to pay “consistent and urgent attention” to increasing the nation’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to a germ attack that would inflict massive casualties on the nation.

The commission repeated its warning that unless nations acted decisively and urgently, it was “more likely than not that a WMD will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013,” and that the terrorists’ weapon of choice would be biological, rather than nuclear.

Obama Gets 'F'

Why does Obama need a teleprompter at an elementary school address?


http://www.thedailyshow.com/wa...ixth-grade-classroom

It was the sixth grade for heavens sakes!
Even in the government run indoctrination centers that's way over "STONER BARRY's" and his testicle swinging sycophants intelligence level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew at least a couple of you Obama Bashers would pick up on this....tell the whole story or just keep it to yourself.

No prompter during the meeting with the kids...was a prompter for the statement to the press...in another room.

Get over it!

Rush Limbaugh?

It looks like Jon Stewart to me.

Why does he need a teleprompter to speak to the press in such an intimate setting?

That's the pathological, compulsive liars in the Whitehouse's story. Too bad there's a picture that disproves that LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"STONER BARRY" has to have a teleprompter for EVERYTHING so he can be spoon fed answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To keep from sounding like George W. Bush

Obama Seeks to Revive Political Fortunes With State of Union Address

President Obama is under pressure to reassure Americans coping with a weak economy, soothe congressional Democrats fearful of an electoral bloodbath in November and mollify deficit hawks.

WASHINGTON — Facing a divided Congress and a dissatisfied nation, President Barack Obama will unveil a jobs-heavy agenda in his State of the Union address Wednesday, retooling his message more than his mission.

His goal: Get the economy, the confidence of voters and his own presidency on surer footing.

Obama's speech will be underpinned by two themes – reassuring millions of Americans that he understands their struggles and convincing people that he is working to change Washington even as he finds himself working within its old political ways.



Obama's goal: Get agenda moving, people believing

The Jerry Doyle program asking what two words people would like to hear "STONER BARRY" say tonight, responses, "I'M DYING", "I QUIT"!

Even the left-wing ap is forced to expose some of "STONER BARRY's" blatant lies from last night.
Spending commission, denied by the Senate, one done by executive order will have no power!
Spending freeze, would save less than 1% of the wild spending happening now. By the way "STONER BARRY" vociferously campaigned against spending freezes!
Claimed 2,000,000 jobs saved or created by the porkeria. In December 2009 the number was 650,000 and most of those were government jobs?
Russian arms control pact is almost done, another BALD FACED lie!
Lied about the Supreme Court campaign decision saying it changed 100 years of law and foreign corporations could contribute. BOTH BLATANT LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
