At what point will Obama realize it's no longer "Bush's fault" and take responsibility for his own mistakes?

• OK, name a conservative...;-D....
  
  And I mean genuinely took responsibility and accepted consequences, not Reagan-like "I'm responsible" statements where absolutely nothing happens.

• Speaking of taking responsibility. I notice that in another statement you had no problem blaming Clinton for 9/11.
  
  Pot calling the kettle black here Larry Car 54.

• LMFAO - You don't recognize my turning your own tactics against you. All I've heard since O got into office was that 'it's all Bush's fault!' Well guess what? Two can play that game all week long!

• @LarryH54 - We sure can play that game all day long
  
  GWB - Came into office with a nation at peace, a budget surplus and a booming economy. In 8 years, he managed to turn that into 2 wars, a skyrocketing budget deficit, and an economy in the worst recession since the Great Depression.
  
  Obama - Came into office inheriting 2 wars, a skyrocketing deficit, and a shattered economy. For some reason, he hasn't been able to magically turn that around in 13 months with the entire GOP (and about 1/4-1/3 of Democrats) fighting his every move.
  
  Somehow, I don't think 'your side' come out all that well in such a comparison.
  
  Now, do you want to keep chanting "Stoopid librulz suck!" or do you want to talk about issues and policies? Because Obama is NOT a 'stoopid librul' by any rational definition of the term, nor was GWB a 'conservative' in any sense of the term except as a Right-Wing Authoritarian ("I'm The Decider" Obey Me!).
  
  The sooner we get past all of the name-calling, the sooner we realize that Democratic Socialists and Teabaggers have far less to fear from each other than they do the Corporatist Kleptocracy status quo.

• It's funny. The ONLY people to try to play the race card are Obama's supporters. Why is that do you suppose?
  
  Obama has continued Bush's policies in every way that matters. We are still in Afghanistan, Gitmo is still open, the giveaways to the rich continue unabated, and Chicago politics-as-usual is the order of the day. Obama hasn't made any mistakes. He has deliberately chosen to do every single thing he could to further the 'progressive' agenda with no regard for the will of the People. Which is why he lost Massachusetts for the Democrats.

• His skin color makes no difference to me. I find it insulting whenever liberals scream racist when you disagree with anything Obama says or does. It's beneath you.
  
  Superior education? If I'm not mistaken, Bush had an MBA from the same university. Bush had a higher GPA from Yale than Kerry did.
  
  I wish I knew what embarassments you refer to. Unemployment was 5.8% under Bush. It's 9.7% today and it's only that low because the Labor department juggled the figures and didn't count everyone. Only a bureaucrat could make unemployment look better in a month when the economy shed an additional 200,000 jobs.
  
  You're right gas ain't cheap. In fact, locally, it's $1.28 more per gallon today than it was 1/20/2009.
  
  Obama mistakes:
  1. announcing Gitmo would close in a year. 13 months later, it's still open and there appears to be no end in sight.
  2. Taking over and bailing out two of the three domestic automakers with funds that weren't intended for that purpose.
  3. Granting constitutional protections to terrorists who are at war with us. (Please don't talk about the Geneva conventions. They don't qualify for those protections either.)
  4. Spending tax money to aid one part of the economy while proposing legislation that would destroy other sectors. I'm waiting for the first car that runs on wind energy or solar cells.
  5. I can give you more but I want to eat dinner before the food police take away my trans fat and peanut butter.

• The ones who scream loudest about Obama's skin color always has been Conservatives.
  Obama actually got into his schools on merit, as opposed Bu$h's daddy's money.
  As opposed to what? A President who felt that reporting the reality that America is in a recession is trying to make Bu$h look bad
  
  1) I'm still waiting for those dreadfully expensive weapons of mass destruction.
  2) Oh I suppose we should instead just export more American jobs then?
  3) The Geneva conventions DO apply. Or at least they do for those who comprehend the need to keep one's word.
  4) That's a page out of the Republican handbook- money for war and rewarding Big business for exporting american jobs.
  5) No one's stopping you. Got Patriot Act?

• MG don't you ever get tired of parroting the party line? None of what you said had any real merit. And it's all old, rehashed garbage. Give it a rest.
