It would be hard to miss the regular drumbeat of the Messiah's rhetoric. Even now, twenty months into his administration nothing is his fault. It is all inherited from the previous President, George W. Bush.
To be fair, it would be very difficult to objectively evaluate the responsibility. It just isn't that easy to get a parallel situation, but we do have one now.
Louisiana Makes a Choice
This week is the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the Louisiana meltdown. There is more than enough blame to be handed out for the handling of that situation. You can fault New Orleans mayor Nagin or LA governor Blanco or the Washington bureaucracy or even the Corps of Engineers management of the control system. The left likes to point at GWB as the failure that was pivotal.
Now, we've had the summer of the Gulf. The BP blowout and the incessant coverage of the eco-nightmare (or maybe not) of oil gushing from the sea floor on 24/7 webcam coverage. Oil soaked pelicans and floating redfish every evening on the news along with video of pristine beaches emptied of vacationers.
So, we've got dueling disasters. Two presidents, two challenges, one beleaguered state. What do the people who have lived it have to say?
They believe Bush did a better job by two-to-one! And 81% demand resumption of off-shore drilling.
Is the Bamster so totally tone-deaf that he can continue to ignore this sort of thing?

When you've been anointed as the "Exalted Won", you can ignore anything you want. I'm concerned that he thinks he can ignore elections, the one in 66 days and more importantly the one in 876 days.
In answer to your question.
Yes.
