Someone let the president know that the election is over. ::)
Obama starts mentioning Bush by name

From CNN's Steve Brusk and Shawna Shepherd
(CNN) – President Obama, moving into campaign mode ahead of the midterm elections, has added new, sharper language to his stump speech – twice this week invoking the name of his predecessor.
Obama frequently criticizes Republican policies on the economy – that is certainly nothing new. But the latest wrinkle in Obama's rhetoric is that until now, he has avoided referring to former President Bush by name. That changed this week.
Thursday marked the second time in a week that Obama has mentioned Bush. During a fundraiser in Chicago for Democratic Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias, Obama said Republicans are "betting on amnesia" as trying to make the economy an issue in fall races around the country.
"They haven't come out with a single solitary idea that is different from policies that held sway for eight years before Democrats took over, not a single policy difference that's discernible from George W. Bush. Not one," he told the crowd at the Palmer House Hilton on Chicago.
Before about 400 donors, Obama said, "they're betting that you just forgot about the eight years that they were in charge of Washington. They're betting that you didn't notice that the recession started under their watch and the deficit started under their watch".
The comments were similar to remarks the President delivered at a party fundraiser in Atlanta Monday. In that speech he also referred to GOP efforts to "extend Bush tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires."
Obama attended 3 fundraising events in Chicago Thursday, including two for the Democratic National Committee. He goes back on the road Monday for fundraising events in Texas.

Truth. >:(

Republicans only care about Zillionares and coming up with ideas that GW Bush came up with.
Bush was so stupid, that two years after he left office, the entire Republican party doesn't have any ideas that didn't originate from him, and Barry Obama spends all of his free time touring the country and actively destroying elections for the democratic majority that Bush helped create while mentioning Bush by name or thinly veiled reference.
Meanwhile the most important members of Barry's cabinet are Bush appointees.
Bush is either an idiot savant, or Barry is dumber than he is. I would bet the latter.

Bush was completely gracious to this pofs in the transition, regardless of anything else.
Obama is showing himself for the petty bitch he is.

Obama is disgraceful. His very presidency is showing that Bush was a lot better than people gave him credit for, maybe not ideal, but other than Reagan he certainly was no worse than any other President we had for the past 35 years. He was at worst a mixed bag. What a petty bitch Obama is as 33 stated. First of all, it was Republicans that balanced the budget, not Democrats. Second of all, Bush's deficits, while bigger than they should have been, were MANAGABLE. Obama's deficits which are much larger are not. Oh, and by the way, I heard Christina Romer quit today. After the former "budget" director Peter Orzag, That is two of his biggest profile fiscal people that have decided to jump a sinking ship.

Romer and Orzag actually pressed for fiscal discipline. They are leaving because they see the writing on the wall.
Obama admn is the worst in history bar none.
