Obama blames rise of ISIS on Bush's policy of not "aiming before we shoot"

[Jim in CT]

There are not words in our language to describe the contempt I have for Obama. Nothing is ever, ever his fault. And he always looks to blame someone else, preferably someone like Bush, who Obama knows won't fire back.

If Bush didn't invade Iraq, there might not be an ISIS, since ISIS is a derivative of "Al Queda in Iraq", which didn't exist before the invasion.

Here is what Obama fails to mention. When Obama took office, thanks to the Surge, AL Queda in Iraq was defeated. We have the intercepts of the few remaining leaders of Al Queda in Iraq telling other groups to stop sending fighters, that it was lost in Iraq, that we had won. Obama was urged by many to secure a Status Of Forces agreement with Iraq to leave behind a peacekeeping force so that we didn't give back what we sacrificed so dearly to achieve. Obama was warned that if we left to early, in the vacuum that was left, a terrible force could fill that void.

Obama the Wise ignored all that advice He also ignored the early warnings of ISIS, calling them the JV.

He inherited a stable Iraq. He did nothing to stop the rise of ISIS. Not only does he want no part in stopping them (he's more than happy to leave that mess for his successor), God knows he isn't going to take responsibility for yet another complete failure on his watch.

The Obama stimulus was going to keep unemployment below 8 percent, and create all these shovel ready jobs.

Obama said the days of gas under $2.50 a gallon were gone forever.

Obama makes fun of Romney for suggesting that Putin was a threat (the 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back, haw haw haw)

Obamacare was going to save the average family $2500 a year.

If you like your doctor/plan, you can keep it.

"I don't know what happened at Harvard, but it's fair to say the police acted stupidly". That's the way to bring the country together.

He told ISIS exactly when we were leaving Iraq, they waited, and then started killing and raping. He brushed them off as the JV. And it's all Bush's fault.

That's a hell of a list of failures.

Jerk.

How long, O Lord?
