It's All Bush's Fault - NOT!

Obama is a Victim of Bush's Failed Promises

Post by Chuck Green February, 2010, in the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel

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 unexpected, stunning piece!

Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his first year 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 one year 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 all 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 pre-condition 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 of last year.

Yes, it’s all George Bush’s fault.  President Obama is nothing more than a victim of 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 earmarks, 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 decision 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 that when Scott Brown won January, 2010 election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing “the Ted Kennedy seat,”  President Obama said that 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?

STOP the Dismantling of America

STOP THE CHICAGO STYLE CRONYISM NOW - PRESIDENT OBAMA, IS THIS COMPLETE DISREGARD OF TRANSPARENCY PART OF THE "CHANGE" YOU PROMISED?  I REMEMBER YOU HAD PROMISED TO RESTORE TRANSPARENCY TO GOVERNMENT.  WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO RENEGE ON THAT PROMISE?


I am writing to demand Congress begin immediate investigation into the seditious acts committed by Stephen Lerner, formerly of the SEIU as well as those of his colleague Abby Scher of Brooklyn College CUNY, who announced their plan of economic terrorism at The Left Forum's March 19, 2011 conference.


Their announced plot included a detailed plan that is already underway to crash the stock market and collapse the American banking system in an effort to bring the United States "to its knees."


Furthermore, it appears Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein; his wife Samantha Power, Senior Director of the National Security Council; and Department of Justice Attorney General Eric Holder are key players in a related plot to dismantle and destroy America's Constitutional republic.  These three, among other high-ranking Obama appointees and czars, are all acolytes and beneficiaries of George Soros-funded globalist initiatives, including the Open Society Institute, and have actively participated in on-going efforts seeking to effectually rewrite the United States Constitution and its Bill of Rights in ways that will fundamentally transform the document into a fully "progressive" Marxist Manifesto by the year 2020.  We must immediately pass legislation to begin legislative OVERSIGHT over these political appointees and czars!  Criminal prosecution must be started against those czars that have committed criminal and seditious acts!  It is not enough to allow them to resign with Get-Out-Of-Jail free cards.

Furthermore, because Eric Holder has shown a clear reluctance to perform the duties of his office, to prosecute or even investigate Obama colleagues and supporters, (e.g. the New Black Panthers voter intimidation case), and because Mr. Lerner has visited the White House on numerous occasions as an apparent Obama Administration insider, it is incumbent upon Congress to ensure that the rule of law is upheld, and the potentially disastrous consequences of the seditious acts, incitement, and economic terrorism advocated and promulgated by Mr. Lerner and his colleagues be responded to and averted by force of law immediately.


THESE ARE BLATENT ATTEMPTS TO OVERTHROW THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BY SUBTERFUGE, WITHOUT LEGITIMATE LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL, AND WITHOUT THE SUPPORT, KNOWLEDGE, AND APPROVAL OF THE PEOPLE.


IF THIS SOCIALIST/MARXIST INSIDIOUS PROPAGANDA IS YOUR PLAN, THEN SHOW YOUR PLANS TO THE PUBLIC, AND WE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT WE THINK OF YOUR PLANS.  WHERE IS THE OBAMA "PROMISED" TRANSPARENCY?

GOD BLESS AMERICA
