Dems. worried the blame Bush tactics no longer working

[oreo]

WASHINGTON—Democrats are working hard these days to tell voters that the nation's economic problems were created by President George W. Bush. But that line of attack—which has buoyed the party significantly over the past four years—may be losing its edge.

In a string of recent elections, Democrats have tried to paint Republicans as Bush acolytes ready to lead a revival of his policies. One widely aired television ad in the recent Massachusetts Senate race showed a picture of Republican Scott Brown, and then shots of former President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Mr. Brown won anyway.

The results suggest voters are beginning to worry less about what Mr. Bush did, and more about what President Barack Obama will do to dig the economy out.

They went to that well too often, so there is nothing left anymore.

Oftimes a point is so obvious, that when you state it, people wonder why.

Keep dreaming! Twenty years from now, there will be no doubt amongst historians, just who it was and how it was that we got set up for this disastrous fiscal situation. The Republicans and Bush. It was their war, their tax cuts and their spending that doubled the national debt; it was lax Gingrich-era Republican deregulation, and easy money by a Republican Fed Chairman that set the stage for the economic meltdown.

We're blaming you for putting the country in the shitter, because it's your fault. It's your fault now, it was your fault a year ago, and in twenty years people are probably still going to be digging out of the crap you buried the country in.

You can try and shift the blame all you like. I'm going to be reminding you, until my dying day, of how you failed us.

---I don't have to "reach" for anything. The real poll came in--in case you were asleep. You know those losses in Virginia, NJ & "Holy cow" Ted Kennedy's cemented seat in MASS went to a Republican. The bluest of blue states are turning a little red--wouldn't you think?

Deregulation of AIG & Fannie/Freddie happened during the 1990's under the Clinton administration---- Da-Duh--Da--Duh--Da--Duh. Looks like history is already here--LOL

Robert Rubin, Clinton's treasury secretary along with Alan Greenspan fully sponsored, supported & defended sub-prime mortgages & Wall Street trading in the black hole called the derivitives market.

Basically--Our government thought it would be a great idea to co-sign our names to 50% of the mortgages in this country--while senate & congressional banking boards were pressuring banks to loan out to people who had no down payment, no collateral, lousy credit, & no real verifiable income. Wall street bought up these mortgage backed securities as fast as they could & started trading them in the derivities market. Our government is ground zero for this current economic collapse. They built a house of cards that collapsed--leaving the American taxpayer holding the bag.

Here is the article again--pay special attention to the warning in the 4th or 5th paragraph.

Why would they need to blame Bush? It's much more factually correct to blame the Republicans as a whole.

 

[Ragnar]

Maybe Bush was so bad for so long that people got tired of the "blame Bush" meme back in 2007... so the fact that Obama's blame Bush tactic is not working in 2010 is really a problem that Obama inherited from the Bush administration?
