Obama’s ‘Blame Bush’ game could ‘boomerang’ strategist says
It already is and should have been the second month he and his tribe started using that as their excuse du jour and haven’t quit since. Not taking responsibility nor ownership for a single thing that’s occurred on his watch, nada.
Not the BP crisis, the 4 terror attacks, the bowing to dictators and despots and so on, not one apology.
And the left used to say with regularity that Bush never apologized for anything.
(CNN) — When signs of a severe economic downfall emerged more than two years ago, then-candidate Barack Obama was quick to point a finger at the man he hoped to replace.
Seventeen months into his administration, the message is often the same, and Republicans say it’s time for him to drop the Bush bashing and take ownership of the problem.
“Nothing makes a president look weaker than pointing the finger at past administrations,” said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean. “By blaming somebody, it looks like you are playing politics and people just want jobs. They don’t care about whose fault it is. Playing the blame game only boomerangs on yourself.”
Obama repeated that message this week when talking about the still-sputtering economy, twice reminding those at a town-hall meeting in Wisconsin that he “inherited” the economic mess.
It’s a familiar message from his days on the campaign trail when criticisms of President Bush were as common as policy proposals.
“History will not judge President Bush kindly for his failure to act in a way that could have prevented or alleviated this economic crisis,” Obama said in March 2008 shortly after Bear Sterns’ collapse, slamming Bush for failing to instill confidence in the American people
