"They're trying to fool you. They're trying to scare you and they're not telling the truth," a fired-up Obama declared while campaigning in South Dakota. "But it's not going to work. Both Bush and McCain represent the failed foreign policy and fear mongering of the past," Obama said. "I believe the American people are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future."

The problem with the second... (Below threshold)1. Posted by James Joyner | June 28, 2004 2:11 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
The problem with the second point, though, is that it was happening during the first Clinton term--it's not a new failure but an inherited reality. Indeed, 9/11 and its aftermath have been the attempt to deal with that fact.

Comeon James, I would immagine that even YOU GUYS are tired of this same tired BS, yeah everything in Clinton's fault. He planned this stupid invassion, assighned the number of troops to fight in it, HELL he even recruited the Jihadist that are wreaking havok. No body believes that bullshit but die hards who have their head so stuck in the sand that Bush could admit it was all a mistake tomorrow, and you would figure out a way to Blame that on Clinton. HELLLO, Clinton is NOT the anti christ. He does not have supernatural powers, and to his credit, he has been a strong supporter of Bush during this a "excellent Adventure," worthy of Bill and Ted.

Not to pick a nit, but he did describe it terms of a somewhat commonly used time analogy (the president in office at the time). So our problems with Iraq go back to the elder Bush term, etc.
Actually his comment is a summary of a post at OTB which was plug for a more scholarly column. I'll wait for that one before I accuse him a blaming Clinton.
FWIW, I don't blame Clinton. Bush 43 and Clinton (as you note) were basically using the same playbook. 9/11 proved that we should have been working on a new 'outside the box' playbook...
