Mika Brzezinski: 'I'm Hoping' Blaming Bush Will Work By Mark Finkelstein \| June 13, 2012 \| 08:17 We've gone from "hope and change" to hoping blaming Bush will work.

Looks like we've gone from "hope and change" to Dems listlessly hoping that a pass-the-buck, blame-the-other-guy strategy might work for President Obama. After playing the clip of President Obama's restaurant analogy, Willie Geist and Mike Barnicle expressed skepticism that it would be a successful campaign strategy for PBO.
