The GOP's newest attack on President Obama's budget has run into a small problem: the numbers upon which they based their attack were from an analysis of the last budget submitted by President Bush -- before last November's election.
Nonetheless, the budget projections offered by Republicans blamed the Bush era numbers on Obama, labeling the data "Obama FY2010 budget."
In other words, the GOP identified a sack of manure filled by President Bush and placed President Obama's name on it.
In that same spirit, here's a list of some other things they should blame on the current administration:
- President Obama's invasion of Iraq.
- President Obama's strategy of cutting taxes on the wealthy while raising spending, mostly on military contractors.
- President Obama's "drill, baby, drill" energy policy.
- President Obama's refusal to invest in the nation's infrastructure.
- And last, but not least, President Obama's refusal to do anything to curb the inaccessibly high cost of health care.
Actually, while they're at it, maybe they can blame President Obama for sending them off into the political wilderness. About that, at least they'd be right.
