Having only been in office for 5 years Barry has still managed to compile what is a rather long, and equally impressive, list of scandals. A list that I’m quite confident would have made even Richard Nixon blush. Since the very beginning of the most recent scandal, this one involving the VA, Barry "Almighty" had repeatedly claimed to take full responsibility. But when it comes to scandals, Barry has one thing that Richard Nixon didn’t have, he has George W. Bush. Because on Friday instead of taking full responsibility for the events that have occurred, in what has become the stand modus operandi for our "community agitator" of a president, Barry proceeded to spread the blame around, claiming that the problem "predates my presidency."
It was at the news conference where he announced the resignation of the VA Secretary, the highly incompetent Eric Shinseki, that Barry "Almighty" also took the opportunity to do that which he has been doing practically since day one of his less than transparent, and boldly corrupt, administration. He did his best to weave what would be a timeline that led right back to the Bush administration. And in once again lying through his teeth, Barry said, "In terms of responsibility, as I've said before, this is my administration; I always take responsibility for whatever happens, and this is an area that I have a particular concern with." It was then that he, and in his very typically arrogant fashion, boldly declared, "This predates my presidency."
Barry said, "When I was in the Senate, I was on the Veterans Affairs Committee." And he then went on to say, "I heard first-hand veterans who were not getting the kinds of services and benefits that they had earned. And I pledged that if I had the privilege of serving as commander in chief and president, that we would fix it. The VA is a big organization that has had problems for a very long time ...." Barry’s very brief, and really quite insignificant, tenure in the Senate ran from January 2005 until November 2008, during the administration of President George W. Bush. But it was only three short months into his own new administration that Barry began pointing the finger of blame at Bush for nearly every problem that he encountered.
"By any measure," the president said on March 4, 2009, "my administration has inherited a fiscal disaster," The Washington Post reported, adding: "Obama had initially been content to leave partisan defense strategy to his proxies, but as the fiscal picture has continued to darken, he has appeared more willing to risk his image as a politician who is above petty partisanship to personally remind the public of Bush's legacy." Apparently this strategy still works, at least if you can believe the Communist News Network (CNN). Because according to a CNN survey that was conducted back in February, it would appear that most Americans still blame Bush for the bad economy even five years after the "official" end of the recession.
Let’s just say for the sake of argument that this nutty CNN poll accurately reflects the sentiment, and the intelligence, of the American people. I mention intelligence because how is it that anyone, well anyone who isn’t black, can look at the economic policies that have been put into place by Barry, and his party, over the course of the last 5 years, policies the specific purpose of which were to cripple our economy to the point where any kind of a ‘real’ recovery is now nearly impossible, and still say our current economic woes are tied to Bush? And it’s the same with the VA. What problems there were that existed when this asshole took office have now, through a combination of neglect and sheer incompetence, proceeded to get so much worse.
The only reason that this boob Shinseki even got the job in the first place was because he was a rather vocal critic of George W. Bush. So I suppose in that respect you could say that all of this ‘is’ Bush’s fault. Look, Bush had his faults, all that ‘compassionate conservatism’ crap which resulted in some pretty crazy spending. But when he was elected Barry told us all that he was just the guy to get things going in the right direction. But instead of focusing in getting things fixed, he instead went straight to work "fundamentally transforming" this country, and has now succeeded to the point where our country is barely recognizable compared to what it looked like when Barry first took office. Blame Bush? No, I don’t think so, I blame Barry "Almighty"!!
