Great commentary by Ed..
Crooks and Liars:
Ed Shultz, on his MSNBC show Thursday, did an admirable job of tackling the rest of the matter:
What did he do? Attack the president of the United States and basically did what he does pretty well, which is rewrite history. Now Bush is babbling, trying to make sense out of the worst eight years this country has ever had since the Great Depression.
And if he‘s going to go out and do this, and I think we need to remind the American people, and I think we have an obligation to say this—Bush gave us what? Record deficits, record foreign debt, record trade deficits, butchering the middle class, letting the financial sector run wild with absolutely no oversight. Those are a just a few things—I don‘t have a whole hour to do this, but the American people are not stupid. Our new NBC News poll proves this. The American people do not blame Barack Obama for the fiscal condition of this country.
Here are the numbers. Fifty-three percent say that Bush and the congressional Republicans are to blame. Only six percent blame President Obama. Now, weeks ago, the president said he didn‘t want to second-guess the current president. That‘s exactly what he‘s doing. Bush is lying and he is setting the framework for the Republicans to make the case against President Obama at a very tough time. Gosh, how one speech can change people. It‘s almost like the state of the union address, the 16 words.
This is the last person that anybody in the Obama administration should pay attention to. Bush has no credibility. He has no authority. He has no clue what‘s going on. You see, he didn‘t stop with the economy. Brainless Bush went out and goes after, with a generic statement about health care reform. He really cared about that. He goes on to say, “There are a lot of way to remedy the situation without nationalizing health care.” He also said - “You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.” I tell you what, just a couple of dandies out there on the rubber-chicken circuit.
This is a man who sat there for eight years—eight years—and did absolutely nothing when it comes to the number one issue in this country for families, which is health care. He told you to go out and get a private savings account. This is vintage Bush, appealing to the lowest common denominator when it comes to the problems we face as a country. I guess you could say that things haven‘t changed. They think we‘re stupid. But in the words of the former president, “Fool me once, you can‘t get fooled again, or whatever that was.”

Who would listen to a man who stole two elections and come into office with a US surplus and ran up a National Debt in 8 short years to over 11 trillion dollars. During the 8 years this man knew nothing about what was happening in his country and stayed high on drugs and alcohol as others ran the country. Now behind the scene was Daddy Bush who was making those profitable oil deals with other countries. Now it's time to save his idiot son. As the US drags this out the other countries are going to move on these crimes. Look for the UK to push forward and Tony Blair will be held charge as he will tell of his part along with the Bush Administration. Now many don't know and don't care about a UK Govenment worker who was going to testify about the cherry picked fake reports used by Blair/Bush. Yes a day before this man was to testify he was dead and Blair ended the investigation. Now it was a clean murder with little to no evidence except we now know Cheney had an Assassination Squad that killed when ordered. This will come to light as every thing does in the end. The Bush Administration will be listed as the real Axis of Evil and worse then others before.
Credible on anything?
Including the Presidency that the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Darth ran?
