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 D. 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.

With poll numbers plummeting, returns to bashing Bush... )
(News flash to President Obama the Bush era is now history. It is now the Obama era. No matter what our current leader thinks, President Bush did keep us safe after the 911 atacks. This blaming Bush is getting old. I for one am tired of it. Obama what have you done. I know given us more government and raised our taxes even more. Now you are trying to push forced government health care down us no matter if we want or not while you won't be under the same program. Sounds like you know what you are doing.)
