   Because they blame George W Bush for everything from the Ice Age to Dec. 21, 2012.

   On what planet is this occurring? Here on Earth, the Democrats get blamed for Bush’s wars, his trillions in tax cuts added to the debt/deficit, etc., etc..

   When nearly 50% of the populace is dependent on the public dole,
   then those providing their necessities will always remain in power.
   That is how the Democrats structured it, and that is how they want
   it to remain. They don’t care if they are “blamed”, when all they really
   care about is staying in power.

   Democrats only get a pass from their own party, the republicans and the voters are holding them accountable, as can be seen in the elections. They have blinders on, and reckon that no one is watching them spend us into bankruptcy, but America is paying attention.

   They are chairing the oversight committees. Barney Frank chairs the House Financial Services Committee. They directly oversee Freddie and Fannie. Frank was the guy who should have raising red flags prior to the downturn but the truth is he wasn’t in the least bit qualified to sit as the chair. Congress is full of career politicians that oversee economic activities that they have no clue about. But what they do know how to do is hold a press conference and blame everyone else.

   Another example is the salmonella outbreak. The FDA repeatedly cited the farms that the eggs came from for yucky violations of codes. The infected eggs hit the market and the FDA has yet to step up and take responsibility. It’s just the trend in Washington.

   Well dems are clueless and consummate liars, that’s right. It seems like they’re getting a pass from the media, but they’re not. Only the lib sheep believe Obama’s lies, everyone else knows the summer of recovery is complete crap.
