Obama didn't get us fist deep in Afghanistan without securing the prize or stabilizing the government there, didn't suddenly abandon it for all intents and purposes to start another war, this time unprovoked, and didn't invent the bailout like his predecessor. Certainly, he has done little to stop the bleeding, but to try to move the blame from where this current mess originated is, while pretty crafty, completely ludicrous.
Let me get this straight...Dems were all on board to go into Iraq...and you dismiss their approval? And you also wanted Bush to go into Affy and stabilize a government? You think that is realistic? How much money is Obama tossing down the toilet in Affy - in what he claimed is his war...the
right war? How is that going again?
The bailout of banks, while not my bag of tea, apparently worked as best as it was intended to...how many banks failed? And how much of that money to the banks was paid back?
Now, how much of the Fannie and Freddie money has been paid back?

Who forced the Fanny and Freddie money to be included?

Who still leaves them out of any banking regulations and oversight?

Bush?
The Dems not only played along with Bush and supported his efforts...they took the baton and broke the course record on their shift...all the while trashing Bush for his effort to help them get started on their spending spree.
