In response to:
It's as if Bush didn't leave the surplus that Obama spent. It's like Obama doesn't remember all the jobs Bush created. It;'s almost as if Obama doesn't remember the two successful wars that accomplished so much. Talk about an ingrate! I'm surprised he didn't blame Bush for not keeping America safe on 9/11.
Times like these are exactly why the word awkward was invented.
President Obama welcomed back his predecessor, the ever-maligned George W. Bush and his lovely wife Laura to the White House for the unveiling of their official portraits. The whole event was very dignified, of course, but there's clearly some tension between the two presidents, especially since 44's favorite rhetorical strategy is to blame 43 for...well, everything.
Unfortunately, that verbal tic made its way into Obama's remarks this afternoon, when the current president kinda-sorta blamed the former for the dire economic straights in which we have lately...
Bush left a surplus?
Bush had two successful wars that accomplished so much?
I give up. Were you trying to be serious?
