Obama Again Blames Bush When Describing Fiscal Cliff

President Obama opened his first White House press conference in eight
months Wednesday with a familiar refrain: Blame Bush.

Before diving into an explanation of how he wants to avoid the so-called
"fiscal cliff" -- and imploring House Republicans to approve legislation to
raise taxes on high earners -- Obama sought to once again remind Americans
that he took office, four years ago, during a recession that started with
the George W. Bush administration.

"Right now our economy is still recovering from a very deep and damaging
crisis, so our top priority has to be jobs and growth," Obama said. "We've
got to build on the progress that we've made."

[/quote]

Yep, I called it. Obama's second presidency agenda was going to include
continuing to blame Bush.

[quote]

"The president went on to insist that any agreement that deals with the
so-called "fiscal cliff" allows taxes to rise for households making more
than $250,000. "When it comes to the top 2 percent, what I'm not going to do
is extend further a tax cut for folks that don't need it," he said."

[/quote]

Yep, he is combining the tax cuts for the 98% with increasing the taxes for
the rich. Obama, not Bush, is solely to blame for that.

Well, without Bush's ridiculous tax cuts and his expensive incursion
into two completely unnecessary wars, all of which were the gifts that
just kept taking and taking long after Doofus George was out of
office, our yearly deficits would never have bloomed into the state
that they presently are. It's not all Bush's fault, but a huge chunk
is clearly still his.
