For years now I've heard the complaints that President Obama blames President Bush for everything. Perhaps Bush is to blame for all of our problems or perhaps he isn't, but if blaming the President for all that is wrong with the world is one of your pet peeves then you should pay close attention to the 2012 Presidential race rhetoric.
Like when Mitt Romney blamed Obama for:
The poor economy
The super committee failure.
Issues with the deficit talks.
The US credit downgrade.
GM layoffs.
Or like when Rick Santorum blamed Obama for:
High gas prices.
Bombings in Afghanistan.
High unemployment
Declining marriage rates.
Increased number of people on welfare.
Or like when Mitch McConnell blamed Obama for:
Congressional gridlock.
The BP oil spill.
Or like when Eric Cantor blamed Obama for:
The Occupy Wall Street protests.
Slow job growth.
So will anyone be surprised if any of the Republican candidates for President beats Obama and then spends their first three years blaming all of their failures on the former President?
The reality is that Americans love to blame everyone else for their problems. Unfortunately the only thing placing blame is good for is raising campaign funds not fixing problems.
