Bush Bashing on "60 Minutes."
Will he never stop bashing his predecessor? This has gone well beyond politics - even banana republic politics. Obama's constant need to blame others for his failures, I bet, goes way back to his childhood, and is, in fact, a character flaw most often displayed by those who were fawned over as "special" all their lives.
Here's a video of the 60 Minutes interview of 12/13:

And here's a snippet from the transcript, which is about as mean spirited a comment as you will ever hear from a president of the United States. It says more about Obama than it does about his predecessor.
"...And, you know, I think that one of the mistakes that was made over the last eight years is for us to have a triumphant sense about war. This is a tough business. And there are tough costs to it. And I think because it was detached from our day to day lives in so many ways -- unless you were a military family; unless you were one of those who were being deployed. Because we didn't even get asked to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there was a tendency to say, "We can go in. We can kick some tail. You know this is some glorious exercise."
If we survive the next three years of this attitude in the White House, we won't only be the greatest country in the world, we'll be the luckiest.
