Revealing Politics snags some video from an Obama campaign rally in Highlands Ranch, Colorado featuring former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
In the video, Albright is seen telling a story about an exchange with a man during a Truman Foundation event, as he asked her how long Democrats would blame the previous administration for their problems.
"All of a sudden this man gets up and says, 'How long will you blame the previous administration for all of your problems?'" Albright recounted. "I said, 'Forever.'"
The story prompted laughter and applause from the crowd.
How long will you blame Bill Clinton for sex with Monica? Um... Forever. He did it. He owns it. If the topic comes up... I'd blame Bill.
How long will you blame G Worst Bush for the "Bush Economic Meltdown?" Again. Forever. When Obama revives this economy and American once again prospers... Bush still owns the Bush Economic Meltdown. He did it. He owns it. If the topic comes up... I'd blame G Worst Bush.
How long will you blame Osama BinLaden for the Sept 11th WTC attacks. (See how it works) FOREVER! Unless some new evidence comes up that clears these men... they will be blamed FOREVER.

Nope, in American politics, it wasn't Bin Laden, it was Clinton's dereliction of duty that caused 9/11 and Bush's response and policies would be the solution. Even if you wanna blame Bush for the economy, at least accept that Obama's response and policies weren't the solution. Bush can at least say there were no terrorist attacks on American soil after he implemented his freedom restricting domestic spying policies. Obama can't make the same argument about his economic policies in response to the "Bush Economic Meltdown".

Cicero loves to invent things. He just makes it up as he goes along... and expects the rest of us to believe it.
I won't bother with the rest of Cicero's post, but it has similar failures. Take this "Cicero invented fact":
"Bush can at least say there were no terrorist attacks on American soil after he implemented his freedom restricting domestic spying policies."

Sorry Cicero... saying it's so, doesn't make it so!

When your car breaks down and you take it to a mechanic, and after multiple tries, he can't fix it to your satisfaction, do you continue to blame the maker of the car for the breakdown, or you do you find another mechanic to fix it right? It's not too hard to understand.

LOL...I forgot...After 9/11, every shooting that kills more than one person by a person with an Arabic sounding name or had lose affiliations with some organization, and happens in a house of worship is a "terrorist attack" aimed at influencing American policy.
Sorry Box... redefining violent crimes and shooting sprees and calling them terrorist attacks doesn't make it so.

Both. That's why I will make sure that next time, I don't buy the same brand of car, because the people making it don't have a clue what they're doing, but in the short term, I find someone else who actually knows how to fix the issues.

I blame G Worst Bush totally for the Bush Economic Meltdown. I blame Obama for what he's done to repair the damage in his time in office.
But Bush will always be at fault for the Bush Economic Meltdown... and the WMD's & Optional Iraq war. Just as, for good or for bad, Obama will always own Obamacare.

Box how can you say it was all Bush's economic meltdown when I can site numerous laws passed by the Dems that helped cause the economic meltdown starting back as far as Jimmy Carter. Both Parties have to take the blame for the economy and you can throw in the Fed too.
Owen Jones: Getting rid of George W. Bush wasn't enough. The US remains a bully The issue isn't Obama, any more than it was Bush before him. The issue is US power OWEN JONES THURSDAY 23 AUGUST 2012
How easy it was to scrutinise US power when George W. Bush was in office. After all, it was difficult to defend an administration packed with such repulsive characters, like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, whose attitude towards the rest of the world amounted to thuggish contempt.
Many will shudder remembering that dark era: the naked human pyramids accompanied by grinning US service personnel in Abu Ghraib; the orange-suited prisoners in Guantanamo, kneeling in submission at the feet of US soldiers; the murderous assault on the Iraqi city of Fallujah. By the end of Bush's term in office, favourable opinion of the US had plummeted even in allied countries, and those desperate for a Republican rout in the presidential elections ranged from resolute socialists to committed Tories.
It was a bad dream that went on for eight years, and no wonder much of the world is still breathing a sigh of relief. But US foreign policy these days escapes scrutiny. In part, that is down a well-grounded terror of the only viable alternative to Barack Obama: the increasingly deranged US right. A deliberate shift to a softer, more diplomatic tone has helped, too. But it is also the consequence of a strategic failure on the part of many critics of US foreign policy in the Bush era. As protesters marched in European cities with placards of Bush underneath "World's No 1 Terrorist", the anti-war crusade became personalised. Bush seemed to be the problem, and an understanding of US power – the nature of which remains remarkably consistent from president to president – was lost.
This week, the UN's Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism, Ben Emmerson QC, demanded that the US allow independent investigation over its use of unmanned drones, or the UN would be forced to step in. These drones target militants, it is claimed, but according to a study by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, between 282 and 585 civilians have died in Pakistan as a result. In one such attack in North Waziristan in 2009, several villagers died in an attempt to rescue victims of a previous strike...............................>>>>..................>>>>....................http://www.independent.co.uk/o.....a-bully-8073568.html
I could have told you they were THINKING that already. However it took a stupid, unqualified and unprepared, half-senile old lady from the power elite to blurt out what their plan is
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Boo Hoo! Sniff! Sob! The GOP still whines like little girls (no insult to little girls intended) when any one blames GWB for the Bush Economic Meltdown... but the truth is that most of America agrees. IT IS BUSH'S FAULT!!!
