It seems that anything that surfaces to today, the detriment of our current president, or his administration is met with, “…but Bush, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da…” I don’t care about “but Bush!” Time and time again that tact has been used to deflect the issue off the current guy – and folks get away with it!
So, in my mind, everything after the “but Bush” in a conversation anymore is, Bullshit. I don’t care about “but Bush!”
It seems appropriate these days to lay claim to anyone in history.
Joe Biden lost part of his family in a vehicle accident. Blame it on Mr. Benz, who patented the use of internal combustion engines in an automobile.
Thousands of lives were lost as a result of wartime and peace time use of jet engines. Blame it on Whittle and von Ohain — after all, they made this mess.
Of course, all of that “blame” is bullshit. Same rules apply to an administration that had two terms (or nearly so) to right the ship, but instead decided to lean it hard port with the windows open, allowing the passengers (that would be us) to swallow copious amounts of unusable water, some sharks to boot. Once in a while, he tries to tell us he is righting the ship if we only we bow to him and pay the toll.
