Riana,

Do you remember when GWB was asked if there was anything he regretted?
Nothing came to (his) mind...

Show me where the current leadership has PUBLICLY taken the blame, or granted the glory to a previous leader.

In an article published in USA Today, President Obama praises President Ronald Reagan as a man with a "unique ability to inspire others to greatness." Obama also says of Reagan that "there is no denying his leadership in the world, or his gift for communicating his vision for America." The late president, Obama continues, "understood that it is always 'Morning in America.' That was his gift, and we remain forever grateful."

President Obama says he will need more than one term to revive an economy that began developing problems years ago.

"Reversing structural problems in our economy that have been building up for two decades, that was going to take time," Obama says in a 60 Minutes interview to air Sunday night.

"It was going to take more than a year," Obama says, according to excerpts released by CBS News. "It was going to take more than two years. It was going to take more than one term. Probably takes more than one president."

Clo,

Let's be real, Obama DID inherit a disaster from GWB. TWO Wars, adding insult to injury, tax cuts, Medicare D, NOTHING paid for. And the housing disaster, auto companies on the brink, along with auto supply businesses.

Admittedly, things have been a mess for a LONG time, starting back with Bush Sr., I'd wager. While I won't say he inherited the mess from GWB, I agree that he inherited the mess. At least some of it.

And you are telling me that Obama did NOTHING to exacerbate the situation? That the only actions he took improved it? I disagree. He should take part of the blame like everyone else. But he won't - he'll blame Congress. And Congress will blame someone. And so on. You know - 'bad things' tend to flow downhill.

Now, don't get me wrong, Obama could have done more & wasted two years on health care, instead of JOBS & working towards having Congress reinstate Glass-Steagall. And his selection of Geithner & Atty General Holder were mistakes, IMO.

The President doesn't have the power to make Congress do anything. Other than nagging them to death, I'm not sure how he could have accomplished anything regarding jobs or the Glass-Steagall Act. Enlighten me?

It's good to see you think he's not perfect, though.

The current leadership gets the blame & the glory, for 'current events'.

Show me where the current leadership has PUBLICLY taken the blame, or granted the glory to a previous leader.
