and I can't recall one thing Bush ever took responsibility for (well, nothing that went wrong).
It was always (with the help of the "liberally-biased media" :
"Nobody kept me from serving in Vietnam"
It's the liquor's fault
It's the "liberally-biased media's" fault (Daddy's loss in 1992 - side note: bumper stickers saying "Don't blame me, I voted for Bush" or Dole)
It's some unnamed staffer's fault (smear of McCain in 1999/2000)
It's Clinton's fault (recession 1)
It's Clinton's fault (9/11)
It's Ted Kennedy's fault
It's the liberal Democrats' fault (for voting with the Republicans for the PATRIOT act)
It's the Democrats' fault (they forced me to invade Iraq)
It's some dink on the aircraft carrier's fault ("Mission Accomplished", aside from the fact that the banner style was used many times before AND after that event)
It's Nancy Pelosi's fault
It's Clinton's fault (2nd recession - because the Republican-controlled House and Senate passed a bill that Clinton was forced to sign)
It's not my fault! (gas prices being high, aside from the fact that he was an oil man)
What else was never his fault, always someone else's?
I can't find anything for which he took responsibility ...

It's the British's fault! (Saddam Hussein seeking yellow-cake uranium)
"He knew what he was signing up for." (Casey Sheehan ... to acknowledge the fact that she's STILL protesting the wars, and angry at Obama, would mean that the "liberally-biased media" would have to acknowledge that George W. Bush was President 1/20/2001-1/20-2009, instead of just an oddly-amusing guest on "The Tonight Show"

(20,888 posts)Before this month all I ever heard from them was that Obama was weak because he kept apologizing to the rest of the world. Usually Obama never actually did what they said he did, suddenly he is now weak if he doesn't admit a mistake and apologize.
