Well, previous administrations set precedents. It's normal to look back on how they did things.


That's certainly rational, but I don't understand why when something negative about Trump comes out, people start talking about random things about Hillary or Obama have (or have not) done that has nothing to do with the topic at hand as some form of excusing or defending the president.

If I get busted for robbing a bank, it's not much of a defense to tell the cops my neighbor is stealing Netflix.

Not to say your full of shite, but I don't remember Obama referencing Bush negatively. He did reference the difficulties of the circumstances facing the country, but never personally attacked Bush. Democrats, on the hand, sure.

Why are people concerned with Obama and Hillary still?


Probably because Obama was so worried about Bush 7 years into his administration?

You are joking, right?

Can someone explain? I'm genuinely curious.

No you aren't or you would remember Obama bringing Bush up for 7 solid years.

What in the actual frick? Obama and the Dems bitched about Bush for 8 whole years?

Or were you just asleep and not paying attention cause you were being a good little sheep like they told you to be?


Yes, they did. But guess what, that was WHILE HE WAS PRESIDENT. Obama isn't president anymore, and Hillary never was! You're proving my exact point. Thank you!

He pointing out failed policy there, a fact of the times. He's not personally blaming Bush.

Switch the names to Obama and Bush. The left screeched for 8 years about Bush. Obama blamed Bush for his failures. It was their "go to". We're too early into Trumps administration to say whether or not we'll see more of the same.

Sometimes the reference is valid. There's a thread right here about Obama spying on journalists. The left has ignored it just as they ignored it when it happened. Yet, they've bitched and moaned about Trump's treatment of the press despite the fact that hostile journos have stated that they have more access to Trump than they had to Obama.
It's completely reasonable to point out the hypocrisy on that issue.

A lot of it really was. When obama got elected, conservatives were on the attack. Are you telling me that when liberals answered by explaining how its Bush's fault that its equivalent to thd incessant whining post trump when from repubs? C'mon

Not for 7 years. he did seem to ease off in his last year.

However, now I am confused. The thread says Obama did not criticize Bush, now you are saying that he did but it was justified?
