It's Totally George Bush's Fault

So here we are 5 years under Obamas rule and according to the democrats we still can't shake the George Bush blues.

Barack Obama Can’t Get Out Of Iraq
WASHINGTON — America’s chickens are coming home to roost.
The shadows of the Iraq War loom so heavily over President Obama’s attempt to attack Syria that he may not be able to pull off the sort of relatively modest intervention that has been routine for American presidents for half a century. And the ironies come from two sides: On one hand, domestic and international memories of Iraq mean the American president can’t get anyone to trust him. On the other, Obama has resisted the cynical lessons of the Bush Administration’s political successes: That you can’t undersell a war; that you can’t rely on international good will; and that you can’t, as Bush aide Andy Card notoriously said, launch a new product in August.
Now, Obama finds himself cast as Bush — without the results. And Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a butcher whose crimes need no exaggeration and whose victims are recent, is in some ways a better fit for the role into which Bush put Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, whose worst crimes were behind him. Iraq War boosters invoked Saddam’s 1980s gas attacks; but Assad stands accused of gassing civilians last week.
Yet as Thursday’s vote against intervention in the British Parliament proved, Obama can’t get even partners Bush did to go after Assad. And opponents of the Iraq War say Bush has boxed Obama into a corner.~snip~
So we got this picture of George Bush smiling with the caption "Miss Me Yet?" and I'm thinking how in the hell can we miss him when he keeps living in the heads of the liberal/commie elite.
He's a built in scapegoat, the bogeyman the lapdog media and cowardly democrats blame for their own failures to do anything substantial other than repeat their failing rhetoric over and over.
Obama using our military in Syria no matter how limited is a mistake so obviously the lapdog media and his supporters are going to try and inoculate him from criticism by using the old "George Bush" did it.
Unless of course he can find a way to spike the football on it and play the warrior chief again.
Then it will be like "OMG Obama is awesome!!! " in the media.

I wrote about it before the Dems made a public comment:

Whether he does it or not one thing is clear.
His ineptitude and incompetence are on full display.
