    ...George W. Bush
    Analysis: Obama’s buck-stopping goes only so far.

    “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.”
    They forgot to mention that we're two years out from him saying he knew how to fix the problems if only we'd elect him President.

    I guess, "Elect me, I'll make everything worse," isn't a very good campaign slogan.

    Did Bush ever accept responsibility for anything that went wrong during his administration?

    Be fair... after realizing that it might not be such a great pr move to strut around with Brownie in front of a backdrop of floating, black, carcasses, he did step up and eventually fire the man.

    And after arguing against the need for a 9/11 commission, all he did was moderately stonewall its efforts, when he could have in fact, just ignored that it existed at all.

    And hey, he was willing to throw Albie Gonzalez under the bus. He didn't have to do that.

    Give this man credit where it's due.

    The buck never ever stopped with W. Never. The man and his veep were big talkers until it was time for them to take responsibilty for anything that went wrong at all.

    Did he ever blame Clinton?? Did he put the responsibility on someone else?

    Did Bush talk to his commanders on the ground? Did he consider the us at war?

    Actually, yes. A lot.

    He would have made it stick if he could have. Clinton wasn't remotely responsible for W's ups. In fact, had Bush paid attention to what Clinton's people told him, there's a good chance he could have stopped 9/11. Downtime in Crawford was more important to him.

    Quotes?

    I agree, a lot of people blamed Clinton for a lot of stuff but, I don't recall George W. Bush ever pointing the finger at his predecessor. And, certainly not to this extent Obama -- personally -- has over the past 12 months.

    Not really but Bush is Hitler remember and the worst president ever. Obama is still blaming Bush because he can't handle the heat. Obama preached to us and tried to brainwash into thinking he was all about change and was going to fix all the that Bush ed up. Obama is just like Bush. No change. Just the same old .

    Do you have a quote or link of when Bush blamed Clinton? Clinton allowing the CIA to do their job would have stopped 9-11. When you say Clinton's people, the same people who said Iraq was us's biggest foreign policy problem?

    Google it and don't try and change the subject. I am still wondering when Bush, personally, blamed Clinton for anything.

    Right I did bring that up but it wasn't the only part of my post. You, like always when you cannot defend the DNC, change the subject. Like what you did here where you want an explanation from one sentence of my op, without contributing anything to the actual op. Troll.

    Me first, me first. Damn chump when are you going to learn to talk.
    And quit being so pouty.

    Your one liners aren't very brilliant either. Bush is no longer in office, remember!
    Obama, dear leader that he is, is now the leader of the free world.
    And he has already accept responsibility so you don't have to make
    excuses for him.....

    So explain yourself.

    Or admit you can't.

    Then you can move on and finally answer my question about Bush.

    Or admit you are afraid to.

    dubya and head and all the other Repug and ST s bags blamed 9/11 on Clinton. Never once have the assumed ANY responsibility for letting America be attacked 8 months into their watch. There has been no evidence that the dubya and head, Condi, rummy, Tenet did ANYTHING about AQ and terrorism before 9/12. And, as the dumbed-down 9/11 Commission showed, there were many actions available simply left "unactioned". Magic Negro has been a huge disappointment, but it was naive to think he could really change anything when Congress is under the control of corps for the economy, health care, finance, etc. And it looks like scotus will allow even more corruption of elections by money, if an lower court doesn't get there first. The Repug and conservatives gave us the financial deregulation and the serial disasters it has caused, going back to St Ronnie the Diseased. The Repugs gave us a bogus war in Iraq, and couldn't finish neither Iraq nor Aghanistan themselves, so the blame both those piles of on Magic Negro. The Repugs had 8 years to "fix" health care, to finish Iraq and Afghanistan, to fix illegal immigration, to deflate the housing/commodities bubble, and they did nothing, kicking all those rusty can into Magic Negro's years.

    Troll somewhere else. Unless you want to answer the question before yours - When did Bush personally blame his predecessor or anyone for that matter?
