A headline on FOXNews.com suggested that maybe it was time for Hussein to quit blaming Bush for everything; even some Democrats are wising up to this.
Well, no fucking shit. Every time Bammy runs into a situation that he can't handle, which has been all of them to this point, he not only falls flat on his face but manages to explain how it was Bush that tripped him up. Instead of, say, his gross incompetence, his shit-for-brains advisers, and an ego matched only in proportion by his wife's hideous taste in everything.
The biggest tragedy is the fact that it's taken a full year of fuck-ups for some people to finally start to realize what a clueless jackass Hussein really is. One thing his lick-spittles really try to hammer home is how the ongoing financial crisis is all Bush's fault.
But it isn't, and here's why: the real catalyst for this giant downtown were the policies of the Clinton administration, which rammed through ignorant and short-sighted ideas like funding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and forcing banks to loan out vast sums of money to people that neither deserved nor could afford said loans. Leading economist at the time warned that whatever immediate benefit might be seen, in 3 or 4 years the harsh impact would be felt, and lo and behold it was, during Bush's first term. A crisis, much like 9/11, that Bush neither created nor had an opportunity to head off; he was just left to deal with the repercussions.
Not to mention this little tidbit: in the 8 years that Bush was in office, the federal deficit as a percentage of the GDP never rose higher than 3.56% in 2004. In 2009, Hussein's first-year mark came in at 12.93%, more than three times higher than Bush's worst showing. See the numbers here.
It's obvious that "the one" is nothing more than a practice-squad scrub. I just hope we can get him out of the game before he blows our entire lead.
