Can anyone give me the quote that proves the thread title true? I asked anakin but he must have bunkered down in his cave.
Obama administration blames Bush for airport security failures
First she said "the system worked". Now, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano admits the system failed miserably, but repeatedly points out it was a system put in place while George W. Bush was President. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs made similar statements.
The "Blame Bush" mantra helped get Obama elected and has been used as an excuse for his entire first 11 months as President. Now they are using it as an excuse for allowing a Nigerian terrorist to almost blow up a U.S. bound plane on Christmas Day. Interviewed this morning on "Today", Napolitano repeatedly tried to shift blame to Bush for the numerous failures of her department. She kept noting "the rules have been in place since 2006" or "for a number of years".
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was on a watch list, had no passport, and carried explosives onto the plane. His own father warned officials at the U.S Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria, that Abdulmutallab had became radicalized. That means Hillary Clinton's State Department knew about him. Our government had a file on him. Abdulmutallah should have been on the no-fly list. But the warnings were ignored.

Thats what people are going on ravi. Thats where this claim of the Obama admin trying to shift the blame comes from.
Oh dear God in Heaven. Anyone who takes what she said as "blaming Bush" is thin-skinned beyond belief.
