Democrats, why is it that you blame Bush but won't blame Oba

Well certainly at the beginning of that article it sounds like it (I literally thought: how did I miss this?), but then, on cue, you get this:

"It wasn't just people in my administration; a lot of members in Congress, prior to my arrival in Washington DC, during the debate on Iraq, a lot of leaders of nations around the world, were all looking at the same intelligence."

No, it was Dick Cheney and he was going to have his Iraq war no matter what so he controlled what you heard/saw. As well as orchestrated leaks to the NYT that he would then cite as his "evidence" against Iraq.

Bush's biggest regret should be ever having trusted that man once they took office.

Ha that is sad but true. Bush 1 seems like FDR at this point.

My other big complaint is him not realizing early on that there was no use in trying to compromise with the GOP, whose stated goal, literally, was to bring him down. Somehow he thought if he made his appeal, once, to the public and then retreated to the Oval Office, the public would come to their senses and realize he's right and back his plan.

That's some serious political amateurism there although I also blame his inner circle (et tu, Rahm?) for not getting that.

Bill Clinton would have crushed these lunatics in the public opinion arena, exposing them for what they are. Obama thought staying above the fray was a strategy. Fail.
