Subj: By a democrat reporter –
would you believe
Obama is victim of Bush's failed
promises. By a democrat
reporter, Chuck Green.
I think it is time that we asked George Bush
to step aside so that Obama can get his presidency going.
Here's an opinion piece by Chuck Green who
writes "Greener Pastures" for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel...one of the more
liberal papers in the country. Additionally, Mr. Green is a lifelong
Democrat...so this is rather a stunning piece...
Obama is victim of
Bush's failed promises!
Barack Obama is setting a record-setting
number of records during his first term in office:
Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever.
Largest number of broken promises ever.
Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest
number of agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity
ever!
Wow! Talk about change.
Just over two years ago, fresh from
his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high. After one of the
nation's most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America 'S first
black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout
followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration would be
gripped in self-imposed crisis.
Of course, they don't see it as
self-imposed. It's all George Bush's fault !
George Bush, who doesn't
have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies
The White House, is to blame for it
all.
He broke Obama's promise, to put all bills on the White House web
site for five days before signing them.
He broke Obama's promise, to have
the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.
He
broke Obama's promise, to end earmarks.
He broke Obama's promise, to keep
unemployment from rising above 8 percent.
He broke Obama's promise, to
close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.
He broke
Obama's promise, to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America
'S most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new
era of global cooperation.
He broke Obama's promise, to end the hiring of
former lobbyists into high White House jobs.
He broke Obama's promise, to
end no-compete contracts with the government.
He broke Obama's promise,
to disclose the names of all attendees at closed
White House meetings.
He broke Obama's
promise, for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.
He broke
Obama's promise, to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his
family by Easter.
Yes, it's all George Bush's fault! President Obama is
nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration. If
only George Bush wasn't still in charge, all of President Obama's problems would
be solved. His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on
track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would
be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel . North Korea would have ended its
tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal
government.
Oh, and did I mention what it would be like, if the
Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn't have the
heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks? There would be no ear marks, no
closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no
special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying ( Nebraska, Louisiana
).
If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, we'd have real change by
now.
All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay
(health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama's fault or the
fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It's all George Bush's fault
!
Take for example the attempt of Eric Holder, the president's attorney
general, to hold terrorists' trials in New York City . Or his decision to try
the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.
Two disastrous
decisions.
Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from
George Bush!
Need more proof?
You might recall when Scott Brown
won the election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing "The Ted
Kennedy Seat", President Obama said, Brown's victory was the result of the same
voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were still angry
about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years. And they wanted
change.
Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in
Massachusetts , was George Bush's fault.
Therefore, in retaliation, they
elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of
domination by Democrats. It is all George Bush's fault !
Will the failed administration of George Bush
ever end, and the time for hope and change ever arrive ???
Will President
Obama ever accept responsibility for something / anything?

journalist and former editor-in-chief of The Denver Post.)
It's
Bush's Fault!
