This is a quote from Sen. John McCain after a State of the Union address from President Barack Obama as documented by the Republican public relations firm, Fox News:Sen John McCain, R-Ariz., countering a stinging political attack by President Obama on Monday that Republicans, led by President George W. Bush, are to blame for the recession having driven America's economic car into the proverbial ditch, told reporters Tuesday, "George Bush looks like a piker compared to what has taken place since President Obama has come into the presidency. He can keep 'B.I.O.B.' no matter what it is, 'Blame it on Bush' - he can keep that up. The American people are going to hold him accountable this November, not an administration that went out of power more than a year ago."Blame it on Bush, said McCain, one of the leading B.I.O.B. whiners. You see, Republicans feel it's wrong to blame all the "bad" things (soaring deficits, war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, a horrible economy, a damaged reputation for the United States, etc.) started during the previous administration on the former president.
On the other hand, McCain sees it differently when something is considered to have gone "well" that Bush started.
In John McCain's world, it's OK to celebrate President Bush's "accomplishments" from his eight years, but it's wrong to criticize him for the problems created during that same period.
You can't have it both ways Sen. McCain.
