Barack to America: I still blame Bush and so should you

“The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office.
People are angry, and they’re frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.” – Barack Obama
In the latest saga of Barack Obama’s increasingly illogical comments, our President decided to blame Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts on… drumroll please… George W. Bush! Sure, it isn’t much of a surprise, given that this was Barack’s number one move in getting elected in the first place (followed closely by the hope-change two-step). But the logic behind this accusation is simply non-existent. A Republican doesn’t win, especially not in Massachusetts, due to anger against another Republican. Most democrats have figured this out, notably Senators Evan Bayh and Jim Webb, who have called for slowing down the process on the health care bill.
According to most polling, the health care bill was a primary reason why Scott Brown won. He won because he promised to vote against the bill which President Obama continues to push. By Barack’s logic, if a bill does get passed, George Bush should be blamed (or credited) for that as well.
