quote:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has a theory on who should shoulder the blame for over $9 trillion in debt the nation has amassed over the last eight years: former President George W. Bush.

Social Security, Medicare, and ballooning costs for unfunded federal mandates were not singled out on Friday by Mrs. Pelosi during a press conference as the prime drivers of U.S. debt. Instead, the California Democrat said Mr. Bush was culpable for debt incurred during President Obama’s time in the White House.

I stubbed my big toe this morning. My first thought was, "Damn that GW Bush!"

Typical. Blame someone else. Even if GWB put mechanisms in place, Obama did nothing to correct the cycle.

Obama added the same amount of debt 43 US Presidents have before him added to it.

Crazy Nancy has no clue.

Well, there's one promise she kept.

She said she would quit blaming him once the "problems went away"; LINK

She's basically admitting that Obama is a failure.

And they're still trying to figure out how they lost the election.

As long as they keep up this crap, Republicans are assured of wins in every election for the foreseeable future.

Unreal. I'm the biggest bush basher on this board but this is ridiculous.

People need to think very carefully before they ever vote for a political party that is incapable of finding error or mistake of any kind on their part.

Under George w. bush he added 5.73 trillion dollars while president and started the downward fall of the economy but Obama added almost doubled what bush did. Obama and his administration needs to take responsibility adding another 9 trillion in debt and stop blaming bush who left the office 8 years ago.

The first $5-6 trillion would have happened regardless of who was president because of war debts and the economy in freefall. Not necessarily all on Bush of course. Maybe just the first $2T.

Unfortunately Angelle she is correct.

That still doesn't make me want to order my wife to go and punchicize her in the face, for free.

Obama's accumulated more debt than all of the previous presidents combined. How is that Bushes fault?
