What is interesting is that posters blaming the Bush administration for it's many errors that have carried into the Obama administration always bring catcalls from conservatives.  |
Just one mans opinion.
I think you have a valid point to a degree; the "catcalls" that you hear, in my opinion, is the response to the sheer volume and numbers. In 6 years, it seems, anything that is negative was caused by President Bush, including a few articles I read in progressive websites, saying he is responsible for much of the racial tension.
You must admit, that no matter the area from economics to social issues, we are basically to believe that President Bush is to blame for all things negative, and President Obama has saved the world. By the way, President Obama basically said that yesterday.
I know that I react without thought sometimes when I read the anti Bush rants. It is a simple way to blame someone or something for all our ills. I have eaten my words but hearing this used as an excuse just wears on you. It is NOT as black and white as progressives choose to make it at all.
The anti Bush rhetoric surely has some valid points, but nowhere near as valid as those who adjust history simply to blame someone AND emphatically not as simple as it is made.
Just my opinion.
