Blaming Bush

By on July 18, 2012 in Mitt Romney

A majority of Americans still blame George W. Bush for what George W. Bush did

Did you hear that George W. Bush’s institute just put out a book about the economy? That’s the kind of news that turns everyone into LOLGOP.

I said, “Dick Cheney’s book about hunting tips is to follow.” The great Rob Delaney offered:

68% of Americans still blame George W. Bush for the economic troubles we face. For many reasons, this is a correct view.

It also presents a unique challenge for Republicans. Whenever they point out the economy is in trouble, this activates the memory of Bush. It reminds Americans of the insanity and ineptitude of Bush’s Administration. And it forces you to ask, “How would Mitt Romney be any different?”

The answer is, as Bill Clinton said, Romney is “Bush on Steroids.”

So whenever you hear the platitude that Romney wants this election to be about the economy, everything else is a distraction, remember what Mitt is actually distracting us from.

    Can’t wait for Romney’s Book “How I did my part during the Vietnam War”

    Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a “minister of religion” in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused.

    Bush’s Next Book, “How to Run Your Own Presidency: Keeping Dick Cheney in Line.”

    I’d be surprised if Bush added more than 10 words to “his” book since it was surely ghost-written. Of course, every time I hear “Bush” and “book,” I think crayons.

    George W. Bush had a surplus coming into office! He cut taxes going into 2 wars, one war faked necessity. Now the world knows we are war tired and probably won’t go to war again. Now is the time to do your dirt like Bashar Al Assad and Iran. The world hated the US and shoes were thrown and W. Remember the show, “Lil Bush” on Comedy Central. Late night hosts had daily jokes on our president. “Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice uh Don’t get fooled again” Remember that? What does The Who have to do with “Fool me twice shame on me.” We had an incompetent nincompoop Yale “C” student president whom the world and the nations were laughing at. On his way out we were losing over 500K jobs monthly! Remember, Remember, Remember
