Sanders: GOP blames Obama for all their problems because they have George W. Bush "amnesia"

[kpete]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) on Saturday poked fun at Republicans for blaming all their problems on President Obama, suggesting they suffer from “amnesia” over George W. Bush’s presidency.

"In their world, every problem that you can possibly imagine is caused by Barack Obama,” Sanders quipped at a campaign rally in Boston. "If there is rain, if it’s too hot, if there’s a mosquito in the room, it is all Barack Obama.”

"But we really can’t gloat, because they suffer from a very serious amnesia problem,” Sanders continued. "A serious illness that seems to afflict Republican presidential candidates. They can’t help it, but they just cannot remember the way things were seven years ago."

1. I'm glad he said that! Finally SOMEBODY did.

The problem is it was only heard by his supporters and not the Pubs it pertains to.

2. It's so true.

They desperately want everyone to forget the period between 2000 and 2009.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. Remember when they tried to push back 9/11?

They kept saying Bush "inherited" 9/11,......as if it happened under Clinton.

[toddwv]

12. They were already blaming President Obama for the Great Recession...

and he hadn't even been elected yet!

No, seriously, this is the level of immaturity and disinformation that we are dealing with and it is legion.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Republicans are convinced the economy is psychological....

They think it's all about "investor confidence".

The rest of us are along for the ride.

They, of course, have it ass backwards. Consumers drive the market and investors are along for the ride.

3. Keep on Truckin' Bernie!

4. Hahahaha. We can't gloat, because

They suffer from a very serious amnesia problem.

I can imagine him saying that with a straight face. Hahahaha

[Geronimoe]

5. Democrats have amnesia too (at least those supporting Hillary)

2008 collapse was in a large part due to Bill Clinton ending Glass-Steagall banking regulations.

Secondly it was both parties that bailed out Wall Street on the backs of all Americans. Both Parties also fund military industrial complex to about 60 cents on the dollar of tax revenues.

11. No doubt.

We know exactly what happened. Talk about ugly. How about we end that period in the nation's history. No more insanity!

I vote for no more crazy false flag, faked up wars and perpetual war! No more ultra grand theft by the fraudster class!

[SoapBox]

7. I heard him say that...

It was so true!

Now Bernie...give us the monster sound.

8. The monster sound!

9. Kicked and recommended for the George W. Bush amnesia!

And it's a fact! Those fuckers don't give the Dubya presidency a single thought. It's like they have been lobotomized.

14. Well Jeb has probably forgotten that he had a brother called George

[Proud Liberal Dem]

20. He somehow believes too

That his brother George "kept us safe".

[Fumesucker]

10. We have to make the pie higher so we can put food on our family

Thanks Obama.
