(Community Matters) My response to Mark McKinnon’s piece in the Daily Beast slamming Pres. Obama for blaming Bush:
Mark McKinnon, your piece is total bullshit. Re: this week’s elections: the Democrat in a race against a Republican won the special Congressional election.
Absolutely, voters are likely to toss out more than a few incumbents in Nov – just watch the obstructionism from both sides against the President’s attempts to fix Washington. Let’s not forget, polls show he’s the most popular elected official. Congressional Republicans are less popular than Congressional Democrats. And, admittedly yes, midterm elections result in decreased majorities.
The team you helped elect into office for 8 years left such an economic and world political mess, we expected it to take more than 485 days to clean up. After making millions electing 43, you’re raking in even more defending coal and Goldman Sachs. I’m surprised if you aren’t already pitching BP.
It’ll take more than 485 days to clean up 8 years of 43.
yeah, I know, it’s the agreed upon talking point that Bush & those of his inner circle aren’t responsible. Karen Hughes, Karl Rove, Mary Maitlin and Mark McKinnon are on the circuit repeating it. Honorable people apologize when they screw up; others simply deflect their own responsibility.
