news.yahoo.com— 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.

What a terrible article. It keeps comparing Obama to Bush, and then blaming Obama for comparing himself to Bush. Obama talks about what he's done to deal with the economic mess we were in when he took office? He's blaming Bush, the article says. Obama talks about efforts to dismantle terrorist networks? Well so did Bush, the article says. Obama talks about what he's accomplished during his first year in office, including addressing "hate crimes, tobacco advertisements toward children, pay disparities for women, abuses by credit card companies?" "In other words, change from Bush," the article says. Is there anything that Obama could say that the article would not see as a comparison to Bush?
You know there are very few people in this country that want a socialistic form of government? Do you even understand what socialism is? Because I'm sure on any other day you love trashing Obama for the bailouts, yeah? But you don't even understand the discrepancy there, that NO socialist would ever bail out private corporations. Not in a million f**king years. If he was a socialist he would have said, you guys are f**king up our economy, go f**k yourself we're taking you over. f**k f**kity f**k.I think it's really you who doesn't want to take responsibility for the past mistakes or your ideology. You refused to take responsibility for 8 years, and now that it's over you figure you don't have to anymore, just blame the new guy and reverse all the opposition's arguments back on them. I mean, do you think that if a murderer isn't caught instantly after his crime he should just go free?Whether you're willing to accept it or not, the majority of the problems we face economically were building up because of what happened during Bush's years. The collapse happened under him anyway, so if anything the only real complaint you can have against Obama is not getting us back on the right track fast enough, but that argument is largely based on unrealistic expectations of how fast you can clean up a train wreck. Not that you people have any expectations, you guys are completely cool with living through 4 f**ked up years of screwing up everything the President and Congress try to do if it means it'll get you back in power.Kindly go f**k yourself.
I firmly believe he is dangerously smart and is working to implement Cloward-Piven and Hegel style destabilization. If he was that dumb he would have never been able to complete Harvard. Unless his handlers just paid off the regents and bought his law degree.
I know! The moment I turned it over to him, the problems I caused became his problem. As soon as he took the keys back, it became him that caused the burns. I can't understand why these obamabots can't deal with our irrefutable logic. High-5!
How can you read my entire comment and think I'm being serious about the f**ks? The reason I typed "f**k f**kity f**k" was because I realized how much I used "f**k" in the sentences preceding it, and instead of rewriting it I tried to make it slightly ironic. Angry? No. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. If this were truly socialism there would be no chance for the corporations in question to pay back the loans to the government, which some of them have done and/or are planning to do, in order to remove these government restrictions. The companies weren't forced to take the money either, on the contrary they ASKED for it, and then they bitch and moan when the government tells them that they can't act like dicks with the billions of tax payer dollars they gave them. We saw how that turned out with the arguably worse Bush bailouts, all the CEOs just taking the money and giving themselves bonuses and taking vacations. Not that they didn't do a lot of that with Obama's either, I guess.I want to be clear about something though. I don't agree with the bailouts, socialist or not. I merely happen to not think they are not socialist in the sense that they have anything to do with us having a socialistic form of government. After all, there is a big difference in adopting socialism as a form of government and adopting selective socialist principles to strengthen our generally capitalistic system. I don't feel like it has to be "one or the other."You usually hear things in conversations about socialism like "Well, it looks good on paper, but it never really has shown itself to work." This is definitely grounded in reality, but it doesn't mean that some of those ideas that "looked good on paper" can't be applicable to our society, as long as we know exactly what it is we're getting in to when we implement such ideas. We shouldn't be afraid to have an idea and say "Yes, this plan is adopted from old ideas that were developed by socialists," but instead we have another massive red scare on our hands. The theory that you can't have anything to do with an entire political ideology or you're evil is basically the Iron Curtain theory, which is pathetic.Americans should be able to have a rational discussion about things like this, but instead we have people holding tea parties, that don't even understand what the original tea parties were about, screaming about this threat of socialism that probably doesn't exist, at least not in the way they think it does. You can't have this discussion in America. It's an entire ideology completely forgone because of fear. And fear is the path to the dark side.Sorry for telling you to go f**k yourself. Have a nice day.
Yes. A Governor with an 80% approval rate. NOT a BUFFOON who voted against the FIRST Gulf war and FOR the second. Talks about a local bar he goes to that had been closed for 15 years. Biden was one of 5 retards to vote AGAINST the Alaskan pipeline because it would endanger the Caribou population. The Caribou have TRIPLED since then. WHAT A TOOL.Can you imagine ANY state (of the 57) electing that MORON as Governor??? (Results 1 - 10 of about 1,280,000 for biden gaffes.)

According to most at Moveon.org, Bush has 9 months to plan 9/11. Not 9 months to stop the attack.
