First, a little background.

About two-thirds of Americans believe Republican former U.S. President George W. Bush is responsible for the nation's struggling economy, with a smaller percentage blaming Democratic President Barack Obama, a Gallup poll showed on Thursday.

Anyway, since January of 2009, wingnuts have been chiding President Obama for having the nerve to point out that his predecessor handed him two failed wars, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and the worst economic record of any post-WWII administration.

How gauche!

This would be ridiculous enough if former Republican presidents hadn't blamed their Democratic predecessors for pretty much everything.

But the black guy needs to stop complaining about the mess George W. Bush made of the place and just clean it up already, right James?
