Clinton was blamed for 9/11 and the economy failing, saying both "started" on HIS watch...

[jenmito]

yet the recession is already being called "the Obama Recession" and you can BET if we get attacked in the first year of Obama's admin., THAT will be blamed on him, too (instead of saying the recession started even before Obama got elected and planning of any future attack would've been years in the making). So Bush gets blamed for NOTHING according to Repubs. Funny how that works, isn't it? Talk about inconsistency!

1. Karl Rove actually had the audacity...

...to blame the Iraq war on Congressional Democrats.

There is NOTHING that these criminals won't do or say.

You can bet that they will blame the Democrats for our economic woes.

These people are sociopathic, murdering, warmongering evil scum. We should not be surprised when they lie.

:(

5. Of course he did...

but he also had "THE math" on how the Repubs. were going to keep the majority in Congress. The RWers' M.O. is to take responsibility for NOTHING.

2. Is anybody -- other than Limbaugh and his whack followers -- actually

claiming that this is an "Obama Recession"? Have any 'normal' Republicans said that?

[jenmito]

4. The Wall St. Journal called it "the Obama Recession," too. n/t

[DrToast]

10. I doubt that. Link? n/t

[jenmito]

15. I think it was Chris Matthews who said that. Let me look for a link.

16. There's a difference between some columnist and "The Wall St. Journal"

It was probably the former.

[gateley]

11. That's infuriating -- why the hell would they say that?

Limbaugh and his ilk will blame Obama/Dems for everything under the sun, but the WSJ? WTF???? :grr:

12. The editorial page may have. They are among the nuttiest of the nutty.

[jwirr]

3. One sure sign of a repug is blaming someone else for his own actions. nt

[jenmito]

7. Exactly. n/t

6. If this mess of an economy

is Clinton's fault then perhaps someone who is so convinced of that can explain to me why our MBA President and Republican Senate and Congress did nothing to fix it. 6 years is a long time to let failed economic policies go unchecked. Kind of like biting your nose to spite your face.

Where was the Bush Administration after the Clinton years? If Clinton made such a damn mess of things why didn't they do something to fix it before it go to the point it is at today?

It's so easy to point the finger at Clinton but that argument falls apart IMHO when one points out BushCo's failure to fix it.

8. We all know rethugs have no interest in taking responsibility for

anything. Doesn't make it so.

[Imalittleteapot]

9. Bush didn't fix the Clinton "errors". He made

them worse.

[MidwestTransplant]

13. They can say it but people just aren't that stupid. I used to doubt that but the election has given

me faith.

[Colobo]

14. It's amazing how they have the nerve of blaming Obama for this.

[bridgit]

17. Look, this is what republicans do, while others are defending themselves they rob the treasury...

Never Again!!
