FDR implemented policies that were a disaster and prolonged the depression. He got away with it by blaming his predecessor – Herbert Hoover.

I have no doubt that Obama will do the same thing with Bush, and the media will go along with this script. Just look at the outrage at his involvement with acorn and shaking down banks for sub-prime loans to people unqualified. Or, the media’s relentless attention on the culpability of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Chuckie Schumer in their role in blocking regulation of Fannie and Freddie.

Oh, that’s right, that didn’t happen.

We have not heard a peep about this with the exception of the WSJ, and Fox news (along with blogs such as this). Instead, the public attribute the financial crisis to Bush and McCain.

Like FDR, Obama will have free reign to implement socialistic programs – period. They will also make it difficult for the Republicans to win. Organizations such as Acorn will grow in power, and Washington DC will get representation in Congress. And there won’t be anyone to stop them.

As it has been said many times before – the Republicans are the stupid party, while the Democrats are the evil party.

In Robert Graves’ book ‘I, Claudius,” Tiberius said to his successor Caligula – “Rome deserves you.” Too many of the American people are stupid.
