It's funny how Obama points to all of his economic and domestic failures, that have nothing to do with Bush, his own massive wasteful spending, and says "Bush did it!" over and over.

  • "First they came for the socialists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    and there was no one left to speak for me...."
