This whole excuse of "a republican did it first/Obama inherited this/it's Bush's fault" for every blunder that Obama and the Democrats make (in health care funding or otherwise) is going to be his downfall.

Democrat partisans like Zick love it because it plays to their hatred of Bush. Bush made mistakes but the majority of Americans are less interested in a president who keeps playing the blame game and more interested in someone who will lead and solve problems.

Obama and the DNC leadership haven't done the latter as much as the former. Hence their rapid decline in the polls. At this rate the liberal idealogues like Zick will be all they have left.
