And pointing out that Bush has a high degree of fault for our state of affairs isn't an "excuse" so much as a fact.

But they also fail to point out Clinton's role in the Subprime Market fiasco. It does seem to swing only one way. It's possible to argue that if one over-emphasizes the role of your predecessor, you can deflect attention from your own political failings. Every party does it, but arguing Obama won't fall prey to it, is again dishonest. He does and he will. He will not own up to his failures. It is political suicide to do so. But the electorate should hold the party which took such a tremendous risk liable for failure. They have already held the Republicans liable in ousting them and in failing to elect its party nominee.
