Remember when President Obama blamed GWB when things went wrong?

GWB did this, GWB did that, GWB was outsmarted. GWB GWB GWB...

I don't remember that either. That is because it didn't happen. The reason it didn't happen is because a competent and capable person doesn't need to affix blame, and also, a person of that caliber accepts blame freely when necessary and takes action to adjust and fix things when they are not going well.

A person who is not competent and capable deflects blame constantly, and whines like a little baby, because these types of people are immature fucking douche bags. It is the same with the people who follow douche bags such as this, the blaming of others. The blaming of Obama. The blaming of Hillary. People who have not been in the position to affect policy for some time now. They do that because that is all they have. They cry, they whine, they post bizarre memes about people who have retired from politics. They make shit up. They believe those red or pink boxes that some other fucking loser types up on facebook. They believe it because it is words, so it must be true. And they will do this until they die, which may be years from now. On and on and on...looking like the fucking crybabies that they are, because that's it for them, they will never have anything else.

And those people will go to their grave without recognizing how they really look to the rest of the world, who are the MAJORITY.

This post is for the wingnut lurkers. How you doing, you fucking imbeciles?

he publicly blamed Clinton, or that Clinton blamed Bush I, or for that matter any president blaming his predecessor the way Dolt 45 does.

you are right. Trump can't even live up to the low bar of not blaming his predecessor.

The worst I can recall was something like "I had to fix a mess".

I don't think Obama ever acted in any way that dump has, probably even in his worst private moments. Just two completely different human beings.

Media says nothing about rumps crimes but if it were a D we would hear nothing else.

No, not hundreds of millions? HOW DO WE KNOW? We are not allowed ANY information from him or the Justice dept. wow, how fucking broken are we.

Which he and Cheney richly deserved. Destroying Iraq was a War Crime that stained, and continues to stain, our nation's history. Hundreds of 1,000s of innocents dead.

I didn't like it, but I understood it.

Obama chose healing over justice, and all that happened was the GOP bit his extended hand anyway. Repeatedly.

All our fine talk rendered hollow, as it ever was. Our Empire of Petrogreed laid bare. Our xenophobia and ignorance ascendant.

Obama may have drawn down the conflict with Islam, but he didn't solve it. No one can, as long as Republicans have any power. He couldn't even close Gitmo.

And yes, I know he gave a pro-Democracy speech in Cairo that inspired the ongoing catastrophes in Syria and Libya. Apparently his sincere words were more destructive than Bush's lies.

But that's all down the Memory Hole now. Trump voters can't remember if they changed their socks this morning, let alone their culpability in destroying Iraq.

On edit: I guess I should have said "assuaging Conservative's feewings" rather than "healing"!
