You know, one could argue that President Bush “inherited” Al Qaeda from Bill Clinton, who did little-to-nothing in response to all of Al Qaeda’s provocations throughout the 1990’s and unto the USS Cole bombing. But never, not once, did Bush ever say, “I inherited this…” It’s time for Obama to become a man.

Of course, Bush could have also mentioned what else he inherited, and the Democrats’ pivot away from it, but, for better or worse, didn’t as well:

    On the other hand, the next president will be able to truthfully say “I inherited a mess”.
