Taken from the Democratic 2008 and 2010 Handbook for election strategies ... if something is bad, it's the other guys fault, if it is a good thing, I get all the praise. If you wonder why politics is so screwed up in DC .. accountability ... there is none. This administration has been terrible at it in particular.
It is not a new strategy it's a heritage program that politicians have been using forever, it just happens to be the first chapter for the dems this past election - you're GW and I'm not ... this year the platform is that it's still their fault.
Mr. fropfreak is right. The Liberal Center on Budget Policies and Priorities is a fair and balanced organization, supported by the quotes of progressive politicians and media, focusing on strictly conservative issues such as :
* Medicaid and the Children 19s Health Insurance Program (for example, by encouraging efforts to expand health coverage among low-income working families);
* Food stamps (for example, by designing and promoting state options to simplify and streamline food stamp procedures and thereby boost participation among working-poor families);
* Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (for example, by helping states design programs that can help TANF recipients succeed in the workplace and increase their earnings);
* Supplemental Security Income (for example, by promoting policies that increase the fairness and accuracy of the disability determination process);
* WIC and child nutrition (for example, by helping states contain WIC costs by negotiating advantageous contracts with infant formula manufacturers);
* Low-income housing programs (for example, by designing improvements to help families with housing assistance use it to move to areas with better job opportunities).
* Low-income tax credits (for example, by developing proposals to improve the operation of the Earned Income Tax Credit and the refundable portion of the Child Tax Credit and by helping states create or expand state EITCs).
These focus areas proves that the center's progressive focus uses fair and balanced non-partisan analysis determining that all and everything is Bush's fault, per the liberal center on Budget Policies and Priorities.
Well, by the rights own accounts the world was about to end when Obama took office.. Now by the rights account the world about to end since its november elections.. After this is done it will be quiet till 2012, then yet again the world will be about to end.
Isn't it nice to see so many fresh converts to the fiscal conservative cause? Too bad they weren't screaming like this for Reagan or the Bush Family.
No, seriously. the same people who I've been trying to interest in fiscal responsibility for 20 years, who insisted it was no big deal for that entire time, suddenly "get it" when a black guy is in office? Forgive me for seeming cynical.
BO had to borrow the money from the Chinese and redistribute it from the wealthy to pay for all these Bush Errors.

Every time you bring it up, I will repeat the true cause.
Although I do agree that the current administration is not very impressive in resolving the problems.
