Exactly, your both on point.
If the Republucans had half the spine I’d like them too, they would be all over this, not to castigate, or whine, but to educate the public with a short history lesson, a debreifing or hot washup, on just how and why not just the Ego in Chief, but we the USA, ended up falling on our sword last week.

“But 2007 was still under Bush’s watch and 2007 was when the Bush Administration let two terrorists out of Gitmo who then went on to plan this most recent attack.”

All fine and good, and technically accurate, Steve, except you left out the part that, because of a numbskull decision by the SCOTUS GWB didn’t have a whole lot of choice.

A decision, BTW, roundly praised by the jackass leadership including who is now our apologist-in-chief who wants all the glory but is totally and unequivocally unwilling to take any blame for anything, including all the stupid things he’s said and done just this year alone (does the phrase “The Cambridge Police Department acted stupidly” ring a bell? Just one of many, many mental/ethical/judgmental lapses that he can lay claim to.)

I can certainly agree with that. Like Ive been bitching about here all along, where is the opposition “leadership” in Congress. Just because its a holiday week off doesnt mean they cant find a microphone someplace.

The sad thing is that in this case when Obama blames Bush he is in part right.

Ultimately of course he is wrong because he has had over a year to fix the mistakes of the Bush administration, but they were indeed mistakes. And of course it was Obama’s embassy staff that the terrorist’s dad talked to about a month ago. It wasn’t Bush there a month ago. It was Obama.

But 2007 was still under Bush’s watch and 2007 was when the Bush Administration let two terrorists out of Gitmo who then went on to plan this most recent attack.

Conservatives should not get defensive when Obama attacks Bush like this. Instead we should BEAT OBAMA TO THE PUNCH. We should say that indeed Obama is repeating the mistakes of the Bush adminstration. The American people would appreciate our honesty.

George W. Bush was one of the worse presidents in US history. Sure Obama is even worse but that doesn’t erase the fact that George W. Bush was bad in his own right. Until we admit this we will never be able to move forward.

Again, Obama is in control now so blaming Bush for stuff that he should have corrected doesn’t fly. But it would totally take the sails out of Obama for us to first blame Bush and blame Obama for continuing down the same path at an accelerated rate.

Had GWB waited three days to respond to anything he would have been blasted by every liberal pundit and blogger in the entire country.

But they’re not biased. Just ask them. They are as middle American as anyone can get. Why, everyone they know and talk to has exactly the same opinions they do…

Yes, and by the way this blame Bush game is getting pretty thin! Any body with a real managerial job, has about 5 or 6 months at most to say hes correcting the mistakes of his predecessor, after that its time to step up and admit your own screw-up’s !

“(If there’s anything that President Obama is good at with regards to national security, it’s that he’s great at procrastination and making the United States look positively wimpy.)”

Not quite, Gary. He’s also a master of the put-down, too, as long as it’s a put-down of the country he’s supposed to be leading.

And that leads to ever-more emboldening of the enemy, too. So you see, we get a two-fer with this turkey.
