President Obama won the election and he inherited the mess created by the Bush-Cheney team....we should break the oil cartel in our country and bring back competition to our american free enterprise capitalism and put some teeth into the banking industry by more oversight ,etc to say the least..next we should get out of foreign wars in Asia and europe we do not need them,they need us and retire to north and south america and the Monroe Doctrine....

It's about time Obama made the Presidency his. It will do no good for his credibility to continue to complain about what he inherited. It all became his when he said "I DO". If you inherit a dilapitated house from a relative who failed to keep things up, it's yours as soon as you accept the key to front door. It's yours from day one and complaining about what you inherited is the wrong focus. Of course he is under pressure from Congressional Dems to say this because of the coming elections, but it cheapens his Presidency.

I am tired of hearing every liberal democrat complain about
conditions in this country, they have been in control of congress the last two years. The democrats are responsible for
conditions in this countrys problems and should man up.
Who elected Obama , dictator? We are on a dangerous path to
socialism and we need to change course back to fundamental principals and vote out radical politicians, Why are we letting P Pelosi dictate monetary policy? The senate and house members
have got to learn to say no to Obama and Pelosi before it's too
late.

The U.S. should withdraw all troops from Afghanistan as well as from all other nations.

What a shame for a man to take office and be faced with so many issues that our country has to deal with because of the lack of leadership from other presidents.
I have to wonder just what all he could achieve for our nation, if only, he did not have to come behind so much.
No you are right, Bush will not be blamed. He is sitting his time out hopefully with pie on his face.

I would add that President Obama knew of all the issues facing the next President and he accepted that responsibility when he decided to run for the office. So the wars, the economy, and everything else became his of the day he took the oath of office.

It's Obama's war since January 20, 2009 when he took the oath of office to become the 44th President of the United States (POTUS).
Get used to it Folks Bush is gone so do not blame him on this if anything goes wrong.
It's Obama's fault if anything goes Wrong.
