OBAMA IS A VICTIM...

Obama is victim of Bush's failed promises . By a democrat reporter , Chuck Green.







I think it is time that we asked George Bush to step aside so that Obama can get his presidency going.


Here's an opinion piece by Chuck Green who writes "Greener Pastures" for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel...one of the more liberal papers in the country. Additionally, Mr. Green is a lifelong Democrat...so this is rather a stunning piece...

Obama is victim of Bush's failed promises!


Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his first term in office:


Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of broken promises ever.


Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever!

Wow! Talk about change.

Just over two years ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation's most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America 's first black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped in self-imposed crisis.

Of course, they don't see it as self-imposed. It's all George Bush's fault !

George Bush, who doesn't have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies


The White House, is to blame for it all.

He broke Obama's promise, to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

He broke Obama's promise, to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.

He broke Obama's promise, to end earmarks.

He broke Obama's promise, to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.

He broke Obama's promise, to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.

He broke Obama's promise, to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America 's most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

He broke Obama's promise, to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.

He broke Obama's promise, to end no-compete contracts with the government.

He broke Obama's promise, to disclose the names of all attendees at closed
White House meetings.

He broke Obama's promise, for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

He broke Obama's promise, to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter.

Yes, it's all George Bush's fault! President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration. If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, all of President Obama's problems would be solved. His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel . North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government.

Oh, and did I mention what it would be like, if the Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn't have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks? There would be no ear marks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying ( Nebraska, Louisiana ).

If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, we'd have real change by now.

All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama's fault or the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It's all George Bush's fault !

Take for example the attempt of Eric Holder, the president's attorney general, to hold terrorists' trials in New York City . Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.

Two disastrous decisions.

Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush!

Need more proof?

You might recall when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing "The Ted Kennedy Seat", President Obama said, Brown's victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years. And they wanted change.

Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts , was George Bush's fault.

Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats. It is all George Bush's fault !



Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for hope and and change ever arrive ???

Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something / anything?

    i see no reason to hate the president, he raised his hand and took on one of the most challanging jobs in the country, it took bravery for that, it is a huge responsibility. he came into office at already hard times. it seems almost like people expected him to fix everything right away. stuff like that takes time to pull a country out of an economic slump. some of the new things he has been trying are attempts to help the country, not to ruin it. its trial and error for new things like medical policies, education policies, etc. he is doing his best. I think with another term he may be able to help. just keep in mind what state the country was in when he came into office. it is not his fault that it is taking a while to fix. he has a lot on his shoulders and needs support not hate.

    I see no reason to hate the President, either, and, in fact, I don't. But I also see no need to re-elect him. If you're really worried about him being hated, join with me in voting to replace him, the hatred level for Obama will sink far below that which already has been whipped up against Romney, to the degree that it likely will be imperceptible.

    I've never really made a study of it, actually. But, here on SH, it does seem to me that a majority of Birthers, a majority of those who insist Obama is Muslim and/or gay, and a sizable portion of those insulting his wife have a fervid degree enough of emotion that I'd feel comfortable descibing their reaction to BHO as hatred. Of course, those groups overlap and, also, do not constitute the universe of haters. And, at some point, if Obama let's the slander against Romney go unchecked and Romney disassociates himself from the similar baseless slander against BHO from the Right, - those are, admittedly, some big "ifs" - I could see my way fit to thinking hate might have its place.

    Thanks for offering me the choices, but I'll give myself a more variegated set to choose from, thank you. I don't like what Obama has done w/ regard to Israel and the Jews, but saying that he's bowing to the terrorists and their allies is overstating the case, and implying that whatever conciliatory steps he's taking are being taken because he respects the terrorists and those who ally with them out of terrorist sympathy is totally out of school. There are many ways to love America and there is no Magic Lantern that infallibly inndicates what's in her best interests

    There is only very rarely in this life one truth. I stand foursquare for the truth that the Confedrate Battle Flag flew over some of the bravest fighting men and accomplished military leaders that the States of this Nation ever produced. I also cannot deny the truth that that Battle Flag sought to perpetrate further an abomination upon this nation. As a nation we have to learn to reconcile truths.

  • Cap Defend ... 2012/08/12 23:12:36
    Cap
    If you mean it was not only about slavery, we very much agree. If you mean it was not in the least about slavery, you're nuts, and we're wasting each other's time. Beyond that, we need to establish the context of our discussion, albeit not now, as my reference to the Battle Flag was intended only as a means of showing that historical issues involve multiple truths, and current issues are even more complex since the truths in those issues are more likely to be currently beyond our knowledge.

    Pookie... it is not that things were not difficult when obama came into office... we ALL know that! But what he did was to DECLARE that President Bush was "Unpatriotic" as an America because he created debt that you, my dear, will be saddled with paying back!

    So what did obama do? He produced more ADDITIONAL debt in three years than President Bush did in his 8 years! :(

    My heart hurts for young people like you! I sometimes BLAME myself for letting you down. :(

    However, by you voting for Barrack Obama again.... you are the one that now owns him and is ultimately responsible for his follies!

    For,You are the one that has seen his false call for Hope & Change turn into despair!
    For, You are the one who sees your fellow classmates graduating from College and only finding work as a waiter or waitress!
    For, You are the one who must take America forward, must fight for her, must defend her, you must love her! She is not meant to be likened to what our founding fathers fled from to make different for you and me.

    I am but a man who has given my life and now mine is winding down! But your future..... IS THE FUTURE of America!

    How you choose to vote come November will be on your conscience and no longer mine.

    I TRUST you will sit back and take the time.... to CHOOSE WISELY! Old Salt

    I just think he shouldn't have made such big promises if he didn't think he could fulfill them.
    I don't hate him either, it's not like he's trying to ruin the United States. He's just doing what he thinks (keyword: thinks) is best for the country like every president does.

    I wish you were joking but I know you aren't.. first off.. I don't hate him.. I don't like him and I am angry for what he is doing to our country, but no hate there except for his policies.
    Obama brave?? lol.. that's a new one.. makes me laugh.. brave?? he's a pussy.. a wimp without respect.. that's is what he has earned.
    No ONE expected him to fix things right away.. they expected him TO NOT MAKE IT WORSE.. and he did.. much much worse.. he hasn't a clue about what he's doing.. he should never have been in this position.. in the first place and we would not be having all the problems we do. he is doing his best.. yes.. his best to bring our country down.. don't you get it?? open your eyes!! And the state the country was in when he took over was in thanks for a large part to the democrats in charge of both houses from 2006 election forward.. It's his fault that we are in this huge mess now.. he did nothing in 4 years except to make things worse.. the only thing on his shoulders is his narcissistic head.
