if it is factual, sure i can do that.
the recent blamings of Obama are flat out lies. this president was given a pandemic playbook, a pandemic response team. he threw them all out the window. here we are.
and now that this stink is staying on him, he is accusing his predecessor of crimes and bullying senators to have him testify under oath.
i just dont recall obama doing that.
in fact i do recall him stating resolutely in the beginning of his first term that there would be no investigations of his predecessors handling of the Iraq invasion/quagmire.
he could have been plenty petty and distracting over that.
The Iraq invasion wasn't personal. The surveillance of the Trump campaign was personal. Surveillance of an opposing party campaign is Watergate level criminal, if it happened and it sets a dangerous precedent that I don't think an American wants. Trump is an a-hole, but I don't think setting that precedent is a good idea just because Trump is an a-hole.
Blaming Bush was just as juvenile. That isn't to excuse Trump because I think he is despicable also. I just wish partisans wouldn't be hypocritical, that's all. But that is too much to ask from the lemmings on here.
The Iraq invasion was personal. I'm old enough to remember why.
I know there are a lot of folks here who think the media gave Obama a free ride, but the fact is he caught heat for the economy, among other things, and rightly pointed out that he inherited that mess. But he did not spend his terms blaming Bush; he copied him to a large extent and then accepted and evaded blame much as any pol.
