Memory Problem

I find this fascinating--in a sense that I'm reaching the point that when I hear or read what President Obama says, he infuriates me. My sympathy for all the problems the president must face in foreign policy always goes up the less I actually hear from the president.

On Iran, President Obama remains firmly committed to the buck stopped in George W. Bush's term:

[President Obama ...] placed blame on the Bush administration for letting Iran become the threat it is today, claiming that a policy of putting pressure on Iran was “in tatters” when he took office.

Huh. And why would that be? Could it be that Bush Derangement Syndrome had so infected the Democratic Party that they believed Bush would lie us (again!) into a war, and so resisted anything that Bush tried to do regarding Iran? Could it be that the BDS-infected Democrats in the House of Representatives after the 2008 elections would have impeached Bush if he had attacked Iran to prevent the problem from being passed on to Obama? Or that the Reid-controlled Senate would have tried the president on the impeachment charges and ejected Bush from office? Hmm?

I say only in partial jest that President Obama would get the Nobel Peace Prize if he nuked Iran. But I have no doubt that Congressional Democrats would have impeached President Bush had he disarmed Iran's nuclear program and then voted to send him to the International Criminal Court to face war crimes charges.

The nerve of President Obama blaming Bush for the problem with Iran is just amazing.

And do people actually forget how the loyal opposition treated Bush during his terms of office?
