Does anyone else remember when Republicans used to call Democrats unpatriotic for criticizing Bush?
What's done is done and name calling from the past does nothing to assist us at the present. We should be fixing our ailing economy and the planned $23billion Obama wants to rescue teaching jobs is just another example of saving and creating union jobs, and doesn't do much for the rest of us who need jobs but aren't teachers or union members. It is what it is and the reality is that analysis of past events does nothing to feed our families or find us jobs - which we needed yesterday.
Why is hate for the president the main reason why he is blamed for almost everything and never gets credit for the good he's done? We all said and done things we're not proud of, who are we to judge anyone else (those who live in glass houses…)?
A man states he can get away with treating all pretty girls (like your daughter, perhaps) like whores because he's rich … “We all said and done things we're not proud of, who are we to judge anyone else?”A man takes thousands of dollars out of your pocket and gives it to himself and his wealthy friends … “We all said and done things we're not proud of, who are we to judge anyone else?”A man pays off a porno actress in order to win an election, then lies about it repeatedly, turning on a friend to try to make him take the fall … “We all said and done things we're not proud of, who are we to judge anyone else?”A man tries to use his power to stop an investigation into his illegal and possibly treasonous actions … “We all said and done things we're not proud of, who are we to judge anyone else?���A man lies about and impugns the character of anyone who disagrees with him … “We all said and done things we're not proud of, who are we to judge anyone else?”A man professes admiration for tyrants and murderers who are our country's greatest enemies … “We all said and done things we're not proud of, who are we to judge anyone else?”Seriously?
Why do Democrats blame George Bush for Barack Obama's failures?
I’m not a Democrat but there are legitimate criticisms of decisions that Bush made that we still live with today. Much of the increase in the national debt is due to Bush’s tax cuts that weren't paid for and decisions to start a two front war in Iraq and Afghanistan that also weren't paid for.The financial crisis was the result of a housing bubble that occurred during the Bush administration. You can reasonably blame the Clinton administration for encouraging lending to minority communities and deregulating banks, but the housing bubble could have and should have been cooled off much earlier. He started with a serious recession which hit federal revenues and boosted welfare spending, and he also spent money on extending unemployment insurance and on stimulus packages. Arguably I think the money could have been better spent, but extending unemployment and the stimulus package had bipartisan support.There is legitimate evidence to believe that Bush was presented with information that Osama bin Laden was going to attack the United States and chose to ignite the threat. He may not have been able to prevent it, but completely ignoring the threat was imprudent. As a result of that we had to have a war with Afghanistan. Going into Iraq and splitting our defense resources was a seriously poor decision. We made that decision based on either very poor evidence or outright lies. As a result of that we arguably are dealing with ISIS due to taking out a strong central government in Iraq and destabilizing the Middle East.President Obama hasn't been perfect, but his hands are largely tied by decisions made by previous presidents. The economic recovery has been tepid, but it took decades to fully recover from the Great Depression and the rest of the world is doing even worse. Poor foreign policy decisions made by Bush have blown up our national debt and have arguably made us less safe.
Why do hollywood celebrities think they are so special when they know nothing about politics?
who else is sick of them expressing their politics what the hell would Madonna know about Obama? has any hollywood celebrity actually read a book on politics? also how much did Obama pay them to support him? why would a rich celebrity vote for someone who is just going to take their money away..

Why do African Americans blame the white man?
Obviously this is a strong question. I would have to say that most people who say this, aren't in a very good place in their lives. They use the "White Man" as an excuse for being lazy or not being able to hold a job down. Yes there are people who discriminate on race but its not that much. My parents are black and are very successful. They don't blame the white man for other's bad luck. Most people just need to work harder. You are probably right. They are keeping themselves down. Also I never could understand "black on black crime." If a black person does a crime against another black person why does it have a name. Why can't you committ a crime against someone of the same race. You don't have white on white crime. Or hispanic on hispanic crime. A crime is a crime no matter what.
Is it normal for a sitting President in his final term to comment as frequently on the primary campaign minutiae of the opposing party as President Obama does?
It is normal given that these last years the G.O.P. has done nothing but talk about Obama's Muslim background, Communist/Socialist policies and the impossibility of him being born in the U.S. because it is impossible for an American to want Universal Healthcare and last not least his weakness... So after all that talk, they dared step out of Fox News where they can talk all this nonsense protected by a sense of partisanship and mutual support and they now have to talk to a broader audience. That's means they have to put on the Big Boys pants and say in what direction will they take the country, what they stand for, etc... However, if amongst the qualities you claim to have is toughness, then you are expected to show it not only by treating your opponents roughly, but when tested showing that you can stand your ground, otherwise you appear to be a bully, a loud mouth and worse for an aspiring presidential candidate you put yourself in a position where you can easily be ridiculed... In a country where equal rights is the basis of the political system anyone can take a shot at you. On top of that, it is normal for a President to take any opportunity to show how unfit for that position his opponents are and how poor their performance is. In this age of reality TV and nasty political debate they should be prepared for this... So yes it is normal and it is also a case of Republicans blaming Obama for the problems they create...
