re: #480 Eclectic Cyborg

Ugh, this kind of crap drives me nuts. The economy was in a TAILSPIN when Obama took office, of course that causes a lot of associated problems that He was barely, if at all, responsible for. How GWB magically gets a pass for sending us IN to the tailspin to begin with is mind boggling.

It’d be like if Captain Edward Smith turned over command of the Titanic to someone else about 30 minutes after it hit the Iceberg and THAT person alone then received the blame for the entire chain of events that led to the ship sinking.

There’s nothing magic or mind-boggling about it: Republicanism cannot be wrong, therefore it was not the Republican’s fault. 8 years of Bush presidency and the fallout from it cut off immediately as soon as Obama won the election (before he actually took office), and everything after that point is purely his fault because that’s what is required to maintain the belief that Republicanism did not put us in the situation we’re in now.
