Rush Limbaugh is a troll. Stop giving him credence.

I hadn't heard about him, really, for EIGHT YEARS it seems like. Maybe about his drug habit, but nothing else really. As soon as Obama gets elected, all of a sudden I am hearing about him left and right.

IGNORE THE SHIT OUT OF HIM. Didn't you people learn anything from Howard Stern's Private Parts? If you had, you would know that attention feeds him and his ratings.

I, too, wish Obama would wave his magic wand and make all the shit the Bush Administration got us into disappear, #8.

How long are we going to blame Bush?

Posted by Obama = Bush 3rd term? on April 3, 2009 at 10:07 AM

It's not a matter of time, it's a matter of whom is responsible for what.

What exactly has Obama done to cause this economic collapse, for example? Not much, besides being a member of a congress that failed to regulate.

And your proposition that people thought things would be different under Obama, well, besides all the ways in which they already ARE different, the economic collapse wasn't even an issue in voters minds until several months before the election.

And that's about all I have to say on that for now.

Obama is President now.
Where does the buck stop?
