President Obama can’t stop pointing his finger at George Bush for his troubles. It’s getting so old. Every president faces challenges, Bush did. But Bush didn’t have a filibuster proof majority to work with, the way Obama’s had for the past year. In fact, Obama himself revealed that he’s fully aware of this fact during a pep talk to Congressional Democrats.
The Hill: “[We] went from having the largest Senate majority in a generation to having the second-largest majority in a generation,” he said. “If anyone is searching for an answer to the lessons of Massachusetts, I promise you, it’s not to do nothing … We still have to lead.”
Not that many voters pay attention to this sort of thing. Just remember, there was no super Republican majority while Bush was president. And the Republicans lost the majority after the 2006 election, look what happened to the budget then.
In 2007 and 2008 the Democrats were in control of Congress. It was their spending. Now look at the debt since Democrats controlled Congress.
It started trending down before Democrats took over Congress. So for Obama and comrades to constantly hammer the GOP and George Bush is disingenuous at best. Not that there’s any excuse for the Republicans spending as much as they did, but the Democrats are the Republicans on steroids. The only defense the Republicans have is that they had to work with the Democrats when they had the majority, because they didn’t have a big enough majority. In essence, it was bipartisanship that brought us to the point we were at when Obama took office. Anyone who’s paying attention should know this.
