Republicans: Obama as bad as Bush

These repukes are nothing more than maggots.

WASHINGTON -- Several prominent Republicans on Sunday sought a pound of flesh from the Obama administration over its shifting explanations for the attack on the American consulate in Libya.

The theme that they returned to was that President Barack Obama had committed the same sort of intelligence mistakes as former President George W. Bush did in his handling of the war in Iraq.

"I have seen this movie before," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told CBS' "Face the Nation," regarding whether the White House had been too quick to assume that al Qaeda was on the run. "I went to Iraq in 2004 and everybody told me things are going fine, this is just a few dead-enders. Iraq was falling apart, and you couldn't get the truth from the Bush administration."

"The Middle East is falling apart, and they're trying to spin what happened in Libya because the truth of the matter is, al Qaeda is alive and well, and counter-attacking," Graham said.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), whose oversight and government reform committee held a hearing on the Benghazi raid, echoed the theme later in the program.

"This is not very Republican, if you will, but when President George W. Bush went aboard an aircraft carrier and said, 'Mission Accomplished,' I listened, rightfully so, to people saying, look, but there are still problems, and they're still dying," Issa said. "And quite frankly, things got worse in many ways after that famous statement."

GOP cuts embassy security funding and four Americans are killed, yet GW can ignore warnings about 9/11, then sit on his butt and do nothing while over 3,000 Americans die horrible deaths, then invade the wrong country all the while saying he saw the first plane hit the WTC--no wait, he was told about--and these Repubs are now saying "Obama as bad as Bush?"

Oh...yeah...right...

Miss Lindsay has been one of Dumbya's biggest cheerleaders. And, I'm pretty sure Issa was aboard that aircraft carrier watching Commander Codpiece prancing around its deck, and cheering him on. Especially since that ship was going to port in his district. They are so full of shit, the whites of their eyes are now brown.
