Shorter wingnuts: leave W. alone!
Conservatives, who often complain that Obama blames former President George W. Bush too much, did not appreciate Obama’s recitation of the facts. “The blaming of the past administration is pathetically unpresidential,” blogged National Review’s Kathryn Jean Lopez last night. On Fox News this morning, Brian Kilmeade asked former Bush adviser Karl Rove if it’s “good politics” to “bring up your predecessor and talk about your first year in office while looking back at his last year in office?” “No, I think it makes you look weak,” replied Rove.
Remember, these little tirades have nothing whatsoever to do with Obama’s speech. To wingnuts, all Democrats are always “pathetically unpresidential” and “weak.” The speech was just an excuse to say so.
