President Obama and his top advisors have always been one for blaming former President George W. Bush for the problems in America. However, after Obama's first year in office, the blame Bush ideas are getting old for some people. Some Republicans and even some Democrats are tired of the blame Bush strategy that has been used by the Obama administration and are saying that the anti Bush movement has pretty much gone dormant. "They didn't like his (George W. Bush's) policies...You saw it, what we call the surge voters," said former Rep. Tom Davis, former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. Obama made a statement Saturday about the creation of a deficit - tackling commission, refering to the "economic downturn we inherited" and the "years of failing to pay for new policies" and the "trillions of dollars of deficits" the Bush adminstration created. Yet after a year in office, shouldn't things be different and shouldn't the President start to take responsibility for his actions?
My Opinion: It's about time Obama took responsibility for his actions. His stimulus package isn't working as well as he thought, he keeps having to come up with new job bills. He is trying to cram health care down the American's throats, when half if not a little more than half of all American's don't want it, or don't want their kind of reform. Yes, the stock market is going up, but so has unemployment since Bush left office. When he left, it was 9%, and now it's 10%. Oh, and for the majority of the Bush adminstration, unemployment has been like 6% or below, and the economy has been pretty good, except for $4 gas that one summer. Things started getting bad around 2007-2008. Not all 8 years were bad. The President has very little to do with the health of the economy anyway, although that's starting to change. The Obama administration has spent a lot of money this year, how dare they look at the Bush administration and say "he spent so much money," the Obama administration has spent a heck of a lot too. Enough is enough, time to start taking the blame for things Obama.
