Having Run Out of Idiotic Ideas, Obama Plays the Blame Bush Card

How do you know things are going bad?

Hey chief, you got the keys to the castle. You won. You're President. Now act like it! But we know this already. Argue with a liberal and see if they can respond to you without mentioning George Bush. They can't. This penciled leg egghead is no different.

Facing the first real rough patch of his presidency, President Obama and his supporters are once again resorting to a tried-and-true tactic: attacking George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

In his White House press conference last week, Mr. Obama referred to the Bush era at least nine times, three times lamenting that he "inherited" a $1.3 trillion debt that has set back his administration's efforts to fix the economy.

With the former president lying low in Dallas, largely focused on crafting his memoirs, Mr. Obama has increasingly attempted to exploit Mr. Bush when discussing the weak economy, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the difficulty closing the military prison at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

As he took power, Mr. Obama promised a "new era of responsibility" that would transcend partisan politics.

Well, promise in one hand and crap in the other. See which one fills up faster.
