What policies, I asked, had he enacted which created this mess? He couldn’t answer, but just said “they’d” been in power. I pressed my point. He replied that he didn’t want to have this conversation with a Republican and stalked away. Others, when pressed, have cited the deregulation of the Bush years. So, when I ask them to identify particular laws the Republican Congress enacted and the Republican President signed to deregulate the financial markets, I was met with a similar silence. Indeed, the claims of Obama and his supporters “notwithstanding, the Bush Administration was hardly about deregulation.” Bush, according to George Mason University’s Veronique de Rugy “was the biggest regulator since Nixon.” Which brings me back to Leah’s point that Obama worship is the flip side of Bush hatred. They love the one without knowing what he stands for and loath the other while mispresenting his record.[/quote] one of the commenters has a very good point also: you don't see this behavior from the right... at least not yet[/quote]
