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.

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.

Crazy Nancy helped lead the spending for 4 of those years which were particularly bad.

She's not 100% wrong would be a more accurate statement. He is partially responsible, as is almost every other former POTUS, of both political parties.

Lol I think we should just blame Obama for the next 20 years.

Hell we could just keep blaming bush for the next 100 years. Obama will still be the worst president ever but no one has to have any responsibility. No one really likes bush anyways.

Also you are an idiot just like pelosi.

Dems have nothing else. They take no responsibility for their failures.

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.

As Speaker of the House, Crazy Nancy has as much, if not more, culpability.

CYA, Nancy. It's been a long time since it was worth looking at anyway.
