didn't President Obama just say 'the buck stops here' ???--- m$nbc.com hit piece

[spanone]

look at this m$nbc.com shit


Obama's 'buck' still often stops with Bush
The president continues to lay blame on his predecessor for many problems



WASHINGTON - He says "the buck stops with me," but nearly a year into office President Barack Obama is still blaming a lot of the nation's troubles — the economy, terrorism, health care — on George W. Bush.

Over and over, Obama keeps reminding Americans of the mess he inherited and all he's doing to fix it. A sharper, give-me-some-credit tone has emerged in his language as he bemoans Washington's fleeting memory about what life was like way back in 2008.

"Yes we can"?

Try "Yes I have."

While candid about what he called his team's "screw-up" in the botched Christmas airliner attack, Obama has made a point of underlining all the good he believes his government has done, too.

"Our progress has been unmistakable," Obama said as the new year began. "We've disrupted terrorist financing, cutting off recruiting chains, inflicted major losses on al-Qaida's leadership, thwarted plots here in the United States and saved countless American lives."

1. Now there's some unbiased reporting-not!

The man didn't start with a clean slate and has spent the year cleaning up idiot son's messes. Why shouldn't people be reminded, especially given such short attention spans of the g.p.? If anyone bitches about what hasn't been accomplished, they need only look at the big piles of shit that needed cleaning up.

8. Oops! AP's Ben Feller Claims Obama Voted Against Iraq War In 2002 (2009)

Associated Press reporter Ben Feller needs a better copy editor to keep him from inventing history for Barack Obama. Near the end of a dispatch filed early Saturday morning on the president’s speech at Camp Lejeune on Iraq, Feller claimed:

The president who voted against the war as senator and ran against in his upstart White House bid said the Iraq conflict is one huge, painful lesson.

The vote authorizing President Bush to wage combat operations in Iraq was on October 11, 2002 ...

10. They are too stupid or just biased to understand nuance.

Both statements and attitudes can exist side by side in perfect harmony. President Obama did inherit the shit storm from Bush. President Obama was not in a position during the Bush presidency, to effect the policies that Bush did to bring about the economic collapse nor to start the wars. Now, as President, the responsibility for implementing policies to correct the ship of state ultimately come back to President Obama. There is no conflict between saying, "that asshole Bush and his cronies set us up for all this mess, but I am the President and it is my job and ultimate responsibility to fix it." That is what President Obama is saying, but the MSM and right wingers never hear it that way.
