Obama: Hold me accountable for my policies -- but not Bush’s

<snip>

*** Hold me accountable for my policies -- but not Bush’s: Also in the interview, Obama said that voters should hold him accountable for his policies, but he also said that the midterms should be a choice -- yet he wasn't ready for them to become a referendum. “This is going to be a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and my policies that are getting us out of this mess. And I think if you look at the vast majority of Americans, even those who are dissatisfied with the pace of progress, they'll say that the policies that got us into this mess we can't go back to… What I'm prepared is to be held accountable for the policies that I've put in place. But they Americans don't have selective memory. They're gonna remember the policies that got us into this mess as well. And they sure as heck don't wanna go back to those.”

3. Yep, I can do that, Mr. President.
I have been following your polices and actions closely and I DO have a good memory.
I can also easily tell if any policies and actions are different than the previous President.
Trust me on that.
