The “Blame Game” is as tired as “Hope and Change”.
Hope is not a strategy and most people know that. We are fighting a real war with real lives on the line and to point backwards is self-defeating.

We don’t need to scale back. We need to seek and destroy and use the laws that Bush put in place to protect this country.

How it is possible for America’s Commander in Chief to have absolutely zero, zip, nada military experience. One would hope that somewhere along the line, he would appoint a “war czar.” But I guess that doesn’t fit in with the America bashing, apologizing, marxist/communistm mao-loving tradition of the rest of his czars. It is going to be a very long 3 more years – and we can all pray that it is ONLY 3 more years.

I totally agree with the premise of this post, and the Telegraph’s observation w/r/t political opportunism on the part of the Boy King’s admin is spot-on… but I am in need of correction.
Richard Reed. Was he not treated as a criminal (sat in a county jail for 30 days before facing federal charges) instead of an illegal combatant (presumably subject to tribunal)? Not that I wish the former, but it is important as I’ve seen people using this as an excuse for the limp-wristed Obama stance on the treatment of illegal combatants (the Eunuch Bomber, KSM and his buddies, perhaps Hasan).
I want the Eunuch Bomber interrogated, and turning him over to civilian justice with a lawyer commanding him to “clam up” does nothing to help out security. Where it seems to me the guy is an illegal combatant involved in an attack on civilians, I’d like to know if our actions have been consistent.
I’m certainly no lawyer, and I’m hoping some of the more astute here will give me a brickbat with which to push back a new lib talking point.

As far Blame Bush might of worked for 6 month, after a year i think will backfire badly and after 2 years I think it will the worst Dem loss in History.

The Democrats love playing blaming the other side. While Bush was the president, they blamed him for… just about everything. When the next terrorist attack occurs – and you know it’s going to happen sooner than later – how will Obama administration react? My bet is on blaming George W. Bush.

Obama playing the blame game doesn’t really bother me, per se. What bothers me is how his administration doesn’t do *anything* to prepare for and minimize the risk of terrorist attacks. If anything, his inaction confirms my belief that terrorism is just an another political subject for him.

He is a community organizer whose only skills are passing out other people’s money and talking like he is the smartest guy in the room.We all here knew he would never be up to the job and now it is chronically obvious.
Obama doesn’t like the military because he knows they don’t respect him. They possess a masculinity that he will never understand. They run in a world where he will never be welcome because he is a Prima Donna and not a team player. It always has to be about him. He will always be someone who will betray his bunkmates if it can make his situation better.
He just doesn’t understand that this is for real and it has nothing to do with his approval ratings.
He will always deflect the blame. He got lucky this time and so did those passengers thank God but there may come a time when our luck runs out.
Who will he blame then….?

I pray to God we survive this guy.
For the first time in my adult life I am afraid for my country.

At this point I would beg just to have Bill Clinton take over the White House.

He’s not my president.
He’s a fraud.

By the time the Community Organizer in Chief is done the world’s craziest people will have the world’s deadliest weapons.

Another one out of the park Erick! Well stated.

public is going to get a real good dose of that concept. Yes, I believe a lot of Americans are going to die. However, that is one of the consequences of being governed by fools. Some fools sieze power and some, like Hitler and Obama take advantage of the demographics of universal sufferage.

Personally, I would take the vote away from at least 40% of the population and only let the stakeholders of society vote. However, we know that is not going to happen so just accept that within the next 10 years that a nuke will go off in the US. Maybe then the people will be up for some real change.

Underpantsgate doesn’t sound quite right. How about PantyGate?

? – Police Force???

The socialists just don’t get it. The US already has the best military force on the planet. Untie their hands and let them get busy. I guess that would piss off code pink. Obama won’t let the pinkos get pissed.

How about the generals press Obummer to let them do their jobs?
You can search and find plenty of videos about how the terrorists do their business. You have to kill them – not arrest them.

This post is from my website:

http://truthandcommonsense.com/2010/01/03/obamas-approach-to-terrorism-reveals-two-classic-flaws-in-his-character-narcissism-and-ignorance/

I link over to another site that has a good round up of the issues surrounding Obama including Krauthammer’s wonderful take on the manic stretching of their theories of justice they use to separate terrorists from criminals. He uses the term “mad” as in crazier than a loon, to describe their contortions:

“This is all quite mad even in Obama’s terms. He sends 30,000 troops to fight terror overseas, yet if any terrorists come to attack us here, they are magically transformed from enemy into defendant.”

In my post I suggested the smartest thing the terrorists could do is shut down all but the most secure bases and send their people here to commit terrorism. Honestly, what is the downside for being caught here killing hundreds or thousands of people.. Whether it is one death or a thousand, the terrorist still gets arrested and assigned a lawyer. Shoot before long, with Obama around, he’ll probably have a cable show in TV- “Jihading with Omar.”

For all the problem GWB had, and he had his share, arrogance and narcissism were not one of them. (I know people, who I trust, who worked with him.) More, when he was President I knew if something happened to me or my family from a terrorists attack I might be killed but I would know as I went that somebody somewhere was going to pay for it. More importantly, the terrorist knew the same thing. They knew THEY were going to pay for it. How many terrorists did we kill? How many of their family did we kill along with them? The death of Saddam and his sons did not fall on deaf ears in the Middle East. The leaders and the sponsors of terrorism got the message. We would spend five hundred billion dollars just to string a two dollar length of rope around their necks or send a thirty-two cent bullet through their brains.

Not any more. As I have said before, “we are in the s**t now” with Obama in charge. He is the weak horse, which is the last thing we need right now. We almost had them. Now they’ll have us.

Perpare for a bloody 2010.

The only way Obama can take the spotlight back is by saying he’ll give millions to someone. We saw with the CIA slaughter in Afghan. exactly what US money is used for in these countries. It is given to people who laugh behind our backs, and give the money to our murderers, The bomber is from a wealthy family, father a Dr. On the blaming Bush thing, it may partly be Rasmussen’s fault. The left hates him because he tells the truth about their sinking prospects. As many know, he has a very good record with his polls. About a week ago, Rasmussen said the only thing going well for the dems. was the tactic of blaming Bush. Rasmussen said that was working for them, a surprising number of people still believed that.

Sheesh. Great article Eric, you’re analysis is way ahead of FNC.

Let’s see, after 3 days of research it was an isolated extremist, but luckily the system worked, except it didn’t because it was a systemic failure due to the failed policies of the past administration, which we haven’t had time to fix what with healthcare and all. But now it was Al Queda, which evil Boosh tried to mistakenly fight in Iraq, when all the time it was in Afghanistan, which the Generals now say we are losing under Obama, all because of Boosh. So let’s prosecute CIA operatives and Navy SEALS and everything will be OK, because the world loves us without Boosh, and the bad guys are being sent back to Yemen, where they can’t hurt us, except for the ones we’ve Mirandized and tossed in the clink. Got it?

is their by now pathological reliance and excoriation of a man, Bush, whose boots they’re not fit to lick. His treatment by the left is an important measure of the sickness, the childishness, the cowardice, the inability to assume adult responsibility for their actions, the numbing incompetence, the constant but always blind hatred, that helps define this collection of human debris known as the American liberal.

The above goes both for the garbage in the WH and the garbage that put him there. Worse yet, we can expect a continuation of the Bush fixation, lunacy!

And our head is out playing golf, surfing, strutting around, and when not doing that, playing bash America. Hey didn’t the bash America apology tours do anything to get the terrorists to change their warped minds? No, then it was nothing more than a whole lot of CO2.

Maybe if BamBam focused on protecting America he would be better off. People have already rejected his socialism, loudly.

And Then — There is always Iran, which he is doing so well with.

Someone who’s spent a year or so as a middle manager in a corporation comes to understand that deflecting accountability and assigning blame just undermines the power of the position you’re in.

Natural leaders don’t need to have this explained to them. It’s what Harry S Truman meant with “The buck stops here.”

Lawyers, though, instinctively play a game of excuse-making, deflection and assigning blame.

The ultimate audience for Obama’s kabuki dance is not a jury, a focus group or public opinion polls. There are forces of evil out there who are looking for any advantage, any sign of weakness. And O is full of them.

…the difference between that and cupidity or incompetence is subtle, but must be considered. When they kill you, you’re just as dead, but the cure (and punishment) are altogether different

Great post Erick. Obama and his goons are doing just what liberals do best–blame someone else for their mistakes, never take responsibility for their own actions, and look down on We the People because we’re not smart enough to really understand what’s going on.

I watched Claire McCaskill this morning on TV trying to convince us that Obama really is on top of all this. I think I’ve begun to see a pattern. Seems that only Dems NOT up for reelection are out there defending this incompetent boob.

When it comes to economics, he’s Oba-Mao, when National Security is involved, he’s Bambi.

a sympathizer to Islam and the jihad. The only reason he came out and said it was AQ this time was because the bloggers were so far ahead of the story that the WH could not have any containment.

strikes, it won’t be with an underwear bomb. (Am I the only person to ask, “Why, if he spent 30 minutes in the lavatory, did he not REMOVE his panties and place them in his pocket or something?”) We are not dealing with rocket scientists here.

All this nonsense about body-scanners and strip searches is a waste of resources and a useless infringement on our rights.

We need a Commander-in-Chief who will strike them before they strike us. Again.

will never take responsiblily for ANYTHING..

I recall the left blamed Bush for 9/11 when it happened, and he had only been in office for 8 months. That the knew it was going to happen and had gotten the intelligence on this before hand.

Obama cannot have it both ways.

Where are the conspiracy theorists? Why are they not pointing the finger at Obama. As far as I am concerned they should be pointing their fingers alot..
The swine flu epidemic??
Throwing out fear during the health care debate.

Why are they not questioning how Obama was going to make the world love us and we would all now sing Kum Ba Ya.
I thought he had all the answers..

He got the peace prize for goodness sakes.

They shoiuld be pointing their fingers for all the HOPE and CHANGY that was SUPPOSE to happen…

According to the Obama we should no longer have attacks like this.

with people like this guy in office.
The intelligence community is out there risking their lives to protect all of us.
Including those that want to tear this country apart from within.

Talk about the biggest bunch of cry-baby blame-throwers…

BO and bunch really take the cake!

They never met a problem that was not Bush’s fault.

Next named level-4 or better hurricane… Brother Bush’s fault…

Next pandemic… “that mean-ol’ George”…

Next fungus outbreak on Obama’s toes… W’s left-over shower remnant.

Next cigarette light-up by OB… “I had to do it…. Bush has created all this horrible stress for me…. BOO HOOO…. WAAAA….. WAAAA…. WAAAA!!”

Ya know… the more ya hear from the left… the more ya gotta believe that George W. Bush was the greatest and most prolific miracle-worker that has ever walked this Earth…. the biggest tramper on civil rights since the first Mayor Daley… and the meanest man since the fictional Liberty Valance.

Ned Reck

it’s all going according to plan.

The gritty reality of doing what is best falls to second place before “take no blame and maximize every political point out of anything”.
This is just a demonstration of that creed in action…
And maybe that creed’s inaction as well…

Narcassism, ignorance and political correctness are the 3 elements that Obama posesses that are going to get people killed. Obama has no intelligence, military or law enforcement experience but he does have the healthy disdain for all three professions that are common within the legal academic elite, especially constitutional law professors, which Obama was at U. of Chicago. However, his narcassism won’t allow him to accept that he is ignorant and may have to go outside his comfort zone to seek advice on what to do. Combine that with the political correctness that defines the left and you have a recipe for disaster. National security is truly an area where playing politics is a very bad idea.

Maybe he needs some Dramamine. I’m sure he’s dealt with this kind of issue before when he was a community organizer. Good thing he keeps a copy of all his books, so he can use them for quick reference.

Can Obama be impeached on grounds of helping the enemy ? He does not belive in profiling, he will do what he can to protect Muslims.
