Like the republicans are doing now by blaming everything on Bill Clinton.

To cainisable067: You actually just proved my point even more, you can't help but point every finger at clinton. You can't even take responsibility for not taking responsibility...and I'm sure you won't take responsibility for that either. In any case, raising taxes is not the same as blaming every single problem on the previous administration.

Only if the political party that is being blamed has been out of power for more than 4 years.
It IS acceptable to blame your predecessors for problems when you have just taken over from power and it can take a while for these problems to get sorted.
However, to suddenly find yourself being blamed for everything, and realising that there are no other reasons for the problems than a mixture of perversion, corruption, paranoid delusion, incompetence, greed and sleaze. Then it is natural AND pathetic to blame the previous administration.
But the republicans are NOT blaming the previous administration, as that was republican too. This administration is blaming the administration before last!

to blame this recession on Thatcher and Reagan is ridiculous, Greenspan and Brown prolonging the previous growth by using permitting banks to lend money against inflated materials led to it to be so extreme. in the event that they had controlled the lending that the establishments have been in contact in from the initiating of this Century we could have had a cooling off era for some years extremely than the disaster we face now.

Sort of like when Clinton ran for office and promised a middle class tax cut ?? When he was elected he instead proposed the biggest non-wartime tax increase in the history of the country and said he had to because Bush had mislead the country about our economy.
Is that what you were talking about ? A president blaming previous administrations like that ?

Pathetic is already a pretty good word. I would also call it a desperation that becomes palpable. A question that urges to be asked is: "How can a respected U.S. Senator lower himself to the levels of paid GOP message board posters?" What will be next? Name calling maybe? Crying? Throwing food at passerbys?
It should be way beneath McCain to engage in something he knows is factually wrong and can only hurt his image. Trying to appease the dwindling GOP voters is an act of desperation and ill-fated. He had a good standing in the democratic arena and was (yes, past tense) considered one of the moderate ones, but he certainly destroyed that image.

Offcourse it is pathetic to blame failures on the previous administration. After all we voted in the new administration to do better and not make excuses for its own failures.

Well, I think that pathetic is to blame one or the other, while both are working systematically for their own benefits and against the people!
