Obama had another "Bush's fault" moment in a speech in Wisconsin. After the spanking the Democrats took on Tuesday, they needed some political cover and pulled out their favorite whipping boy. I guess when you have no accomplishments other than a Nobel Peace Prize to discuss, it's time to play the "blame card". The article is here:

Again I will ask the same question I asked the lefties here in a previous article:
At what date does your failures stop being the fault of GWB policies? When will you be able to stand on your own feet?

That being said, Corzine and Deeds build their candidacy around the blame Bush card. The American people told the democrats to man up on Tuesday November the 4th. Obama's teleprompter didn't get the memo.
perhaps when we can afford to buy the U. S. A. Back from that great sale
Dubya and Dickie made to Communist China.
As far as bringing American jobs back, I don't see higher taxes and e new energy tax as a way to make American made products competitive in the world market. I would suggest "Economics for Dummies" and when you are finished, please mail it to the White House. Thank you.
Mr. Geo, spent like a drunk and none of it improved this nation in anyway at all.
There are exceptions when my ex had a business he was a union shop, IBEW guys. Expensive, but they knew what they were doing. I hope I never buy a house wired by some non english speaking cash worker.
As far as unions go, they have their place in the right industries like the kind of business your husband runs. But overpaying somebody to hang corner panels on a hook? Please......
Blamed 9/11 on Clinton for 3 years after the election of Dubya
sad little pity party you are having
Carter isn't solely to blame for the economic crash, but policies enacted under his administration certainly contributed (especially the CRA and the beginnings of the deregulation of the financial industry). However, successive presidents and congresses of both parties also share blame.
NIXON imposed the price and wage controls, then lifted all but energy price controls. Ford could not bring the inlation under control either.
and Regaon's first three years delivered the worst unemployment we have seen, that was 1983, until now. Geo. H.W. Bush was tossed after 1 term because of a rotten to the core economy. Now I realize you get your history lessons from the ignorant Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, but you might want to try some scholary works.
Reagan won EVERY state in the union in 1984 except Minnesota, his challengers state, in which he lost by less that .2%(yes that's a decimal point) of the vote. History has made it clear who the people blamed and who they credited regarding the economic collapse of the 70s. That's what i was saying. You just want to continue debating rhetorical arguments that didn't convince anybody back then and have the same results today.
When he took the job he got the problems. Someone needs to tell him he saddled that horse now it up to him to ride it.
You might read my post on the Blame Game. Anyone can play.
That wasn't the question. The question was when can this administration stand on it's own two feet and accept criticism and acknowledge their shortcomings without having to run to the GWB crutch.
That was exactly the question. The hurricane Katerina will continue to be a topic of conversation until its effects become unimportant to the people of New Orleans. The same thing is true of any Administration. How long did the Republicans bring up the Democrats loss of China to the Communists after WWII? How long did the Democrats blame Hoover for the Great Depression?
If you would like the same point in more cynical terms, how long will it be politically expedient to blame Bush for present day problems? So long as the public can be made to blame someone else, a politician will blame them.
Its Bushs fault,,, its Cheneys fault... and on and on and on....
