"I think it is fine to blame Bush for the things he is responsible for."

A dubious assertion at best.

"The problem is you and Obama want to blame him for everything"

Nonsense. I have criticized Obama for several things. But the fact of the matter is that there is a very full plate in front of Smirk.

" Although, miraculously, the sorry son of a bitch has tried to claim credit for ending the Iraq War, which he has opposed consistently and cannot even bring himself to say we "won". "

Perfect example. The surge failed in its most important goal. While it did stabilize things to an extent, Iraq still hasn't managed to form anything like a government. Obama set a deadline and has pulled the plug. And, like any politician, did his best to spin it as a positive.

"Bush, for example, is no more responsible for the bad economy than you or me. Responsibility rests squarely with Bill Clinton (whether you blame the housing crisis or lack of derivative regulation, Clinton did it)"

Bush had a lot more to do with it than I did. I can't vouch for you. While the seeds were planted under Clinton and even earlier, all the way back to Reagan, Bush made sure that those seeds were watered and taken care of to the point that things blew up at the end of his watch.

He does shoulder that blame.
