THE PRESIDENT OF BLAME. . .

. . . IN THE "NEW ERA OF RESPONSIBILITY"

FDR had Herbert Hoover, and Barack Obama has George W. Bush to blame...for everything!

In his White House press conference last week, Mr. Obama referred to the Bush era at least nine times, three times whining that he "inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit." Nevermind, that 2008's deficit under George W. Bush was under $500 billion (the worst annual deficit in that nation's history at the time), and that this year's deficit is approaching four times that number under President Obama.

How does he lie like this and get away with it? Because the mainstream media isn't doing it's job, that's how.

With the former president Bush largely focused on writing his memoirs, President Obama has increasingly tried to blame Mr. Bush when discussing the weak economy, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the difficulty closing the military prison at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and anything else that he can think of.

In his inaugural adress, President Obama promised a "new era of responsibility" that would transcend partisan politics. So much for that.
