Obama blames Bush again

  Obama is out on the stump today blaming Bush again today. He's bragging that the budget was balanced under a Democrat Bill Clinton, failing to mention that the Republican Congress is what pulled Clinton toward fiscal solvency.
  To hear this spoiled brat claim that he's actually interested in solving the debt crisis is truly nauseating.
  Basically he's reciting his USA Today editorial lines, except he's spending more time mentioning "ten years" worth of debt and Bush's programs, "wars." Apparently Obama isn't spending any money on wars.
  "interest rates will rise" We won't have enough money to invest in [crap I think is important like the sexual habits of Chinese prostitutes]
  Raising the debt ceiling is about paying for all the stuff Bush put into place.
  Cocky. Raises eyebrows. Drawls slightly when he thinks he can relate to the great unwashed.  Lifts head majestically, undoubtedly waiting for the media to manufacture the halo circle around it in Photoshop.
  He wants to cut defense spending. Big surprise. University audience claps.
  He's willing to take on the rising cost of Medicare. [Sure. By handing pain pills to senior citizens and cutting $500 billion from Medicare.]
  It's not fair!!! he says before he mentions the "wealthy" and the "corporations" paying more and doing their "fair share." The obsequious heads bob and the hands clap.
  Hedge fund managers paying less than their secretaries.
  Huh. What about GE's paying NO TAXES on $5.1 billion last year? What about that? What about GE's profit earnings up over 21%? GE, Immelt, Obama's best buddy?
  This isn't about punishing wealth. Everybody should be rich. The rich should pay though.
  Does he know if he confiscated all their wealth it wouldn't be enough for all the wild programs he's running up?
  Decries political opportunism.
  Complains about House Republicans.
  First question is from an atheist, complaining about not getting a job because she's an atheist. Obviously fishing for his concerned query, which doesn't come. He describes faith based organizations. Doesn't do too bad a job on this.
  Fox cuts away to announce Harry Reid is dismissing Senate for the weekend, saying there's agreement on something. Boehner says no.
