Quoted in today’s Washington Post, former President Bill Clinton said of President Obama:
“To hear the Republicans tell it, from the second President Obama took his hand off the Bible taking the oath of office, everything that happened after that was his fault…I’d like to see any of you get behind a locomotive going straight downhill at 200 miles an hour and stop it in 10 seconds.”
But, what about what we were promised?
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
Candidate Barack Obama
February 5, 2008“….we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth.
Candidate Barack Obama

It’s not, President Clinton, that everything that’s happened is Obama’s fault.
It’s that he’s made everything worse.
