In more of a defensive measure, President Bush spoke out on a few Obama policies warning against government meddling in the free market, complacency regarding Gitmo terrorists and government health care. Gibbs responded with a dismissal and the common ‘inherited mess’ blame wrangle we have come to expect.

Report on Bush Speech:

Gibbs Response:

“I think we’ve had a debate about individual policies. We had that debate in particular – we kept score last November and we won.”

In other words – shut up.

“President Obama inherited an economic catastrophe, massive unemployment, a huge deficit, insolvent banks, car companies that were being handed billions of dollars to perpetuate a plan that had them coming back every three months to ask for more.”

In other words – the evil dumb chimp got us into this mess and The Messiah has taken steps to fix it: by over-hyping the crisis to pass the biggest spending plan in history to stimulate political payback, not jobs, as unemployment explodes to nearly 10%; by aggravating the supposed economic catastrophe through bungling, weakening the dollar, massive spending increases and tripling the budget deficit; by taking over banks and frightening investors and the free markets thus destroying massive amounts of private wealth; and by taking over the car companies, dismantling them and handing out their assets to political constituencies. Oh, and also pushing for the destruction of the health insurance industry during a recession. The One and his enlightened few know better, so just go along with it and shut up.

Note to Obama: lose the inherited blame-game crap. You didn’t inherit anything; you bought it by running for president and winning. All presidents get some bad things and good things from a previous administration, its part of the territory. Clinton got an Iraq mess, budget deficits and a recession, but also no Cold War, a strong military and unparalleled American power. Bush Jr. got a recession, 9/11, festering Iraq mess and weakened White House, but also a wealthy economy, positive world sentiment and budget surplus. Obama got a recession, bank crisis, and the War on Terror including Iraq and Afghanistan, but also a wealthy economy, strong security apparatus and a strengthened White House. Continuously blaming the previous administration for everything only shows lack of confidence in your own agenda and policies. Gee, I wonder why he may not be confident?
