I think a lot of Obama's problems are a direct result of the mess he inherited from Bush
Yes, the National Security mess. The Healthcare Mess, The Immigration Mess
This is typical Republican behavior with overtones of the “starve the beast” strategy. Typically, the Republicans set a nasty table filled with disasters, and then, when the new guy comes along, they blame the new guy for their own disasters. When the new guy defends himself by saying the previous guy set a nasty table filled with disasters, people bark at the new guy, telling him to stop playing the blame game. It’s a no-win for the new guy.
Hard to stay non-politico but I will leave my favorite Dubya quote...
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
