Obama wags the dog

President Obama’s political strategy has finally crystallized: When all else fails, blame Bush-Cheney. And make no mistake about it — all else has failed. He’s losing independents due to his botched response to the economic crisis, and working to win them back by stirring up hatred for Bush and Cheney.
It may have worked in last fall’s campaign, but can this recycled garbage rescue Obama once again?
With public confidence in Obama steadily falling, we are becoming quite familiar with his tired response — manufacture a “crisis” and blame former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney. Institute a flurry of overzealous and over-the-top accusations, hyperbole and outrageous overreaction, distort the facts and count on the public to blindly follow, trust and believe.
Obama’s approval ratings plunged among independents in the past month, according to a recent Rasmussen poll. Even more alarming (to him) is his drop with Democrats. In the past month alone, Obama dropped eight points with independents, down to 50 percent, and Democrats’ approval of him dropped 10 points.
The Obama economic response has failed in the eyes of many Americans who were willing and even eager to give the new president the benefit of the doubt, along with their support. But the rising unemployment and disturbing rumblings of yet another “stimulus” bill after the first one failed miserably has Americans nervous. Less than half of those polled gave Obama a thumbs-up on his handling of the economy.

I told you so.
Now live with it, libs.
Better yet, clean up your mess and restore the republic as you found it.
