Peggy Noonan: 9/11 Wasn’t Bush’s Fault, But the Great Recession is All Obama’s

Nooners gives Chimpy another pass today:

At a certain point, a president must own a presidency. For George W. Bush that point came eight months in, when 9/11 happened. <...> The American people didn’t hold him responsible for what led up to 9/11, but they held him responsible for everything after it.

So George Bush “owned” his presidency — the day after 9/11. How convenient!

President Obama, in office a month longer than Bush was when 9/11 hit, now owns his presidency. ... It’s his now. He gets the credit and the blame.

Ah. The negro doesn’t get the same mulligan as the Bush. Club rules.

The president doesn’t seem to like this moment. Who would? He and his men and women have returned to referring to what they “inherited.” And what they inherited was, truly, terrible: again, a severe economic crisis and two wars. But their recent return to this theme is unbecoming. Worse, it is politically unpersuasive. It sounds defensive, like a dodge.

1. By this line of thinking, FDR was totally responsible for the Great Depression.

Hoover had nothing to do with it.

2. It's defensive because the nitwits are rewriting history

again.

3. Has anyone every hit her with a pie?

You never hear about pie attacks anymore.

I think her time has come.

4. With the cost of food nowadays, it better be a shaving cream pie.

I wouldn't waste the precious ingredients in a cream pie, even if it would be a beautiful sight to see...

5. Just in keeping with the right-wing "CW"

Republicans can do no wrong while, conversely, Democrats can do no right. Republicans are never to blame for anything bad that happens on their watch and need to receive credit for anything and everything good that happens on their watch while, conversely, Democrats are always to blame for anything bad that happens on their watch (and then, in some cases, even thereafter) and NEVER receive any credit for anything and everything good that happens on their watch. The hypocrisy is endless..........:eyes:

6. When is this woman going to retire?

Every time I read something of hers I am more and more convinced that she's senile. I feel like saying, "That's nice grandma now take your pills." It's nothing but saccharin laced stupidity.

[emulatorloo]

8. More like saccharin coated ACID and BILE. She is about as vile as they come. n/t

7. I guess they are counting on..

the naive,ignorant and uniformed to believe that bullshit!!!They think if they keep saying that he can't say he inherited it he will stop saying it. Keep on saying it Mr.President even if you don't I will and do every chance I get.
