"The Obama Recession"

So, Olbermann just said that Rush "Big Pharma" Dimbaugh (note: not a serious person to be discussed by serious people...but occasionally I just can't resist) has been trying to market the term "the Obama Recession" to refer to the Bush recession we're currently slipping into.

So, let me get this straight: everything was Clinton's fault until three months before Obama is inaugurated, it became his fault, as a result of...I dunno...backwards causation or something. But Bush isn't responsible for anything whatsoever that happened during the entire eight years of his Presidency. Oh, except--for some inscrutable reason--he's supposed to get credit for the fact that we haven't been attacked inside the U.S. since 9/11. Even though that is, of course, the normal state of affairs. Oh, and: he's in no way responsible for the fact that we were attacked on 9/11. Even though he was warned by the Clinton administration that al Qaeda was a serious threat.

But then, of course, Dimbaugh and his ilk have no regard whatsoever for the truth.

WS notes, "Dimbaugh and his ilk have no regard whatsoever for the truth."

I suspect that Limbaugh et al. do not seek the truth because they believe that they have fond the one truth, best stated by Digby:
"Conservatism can never fail. It can only be failed by weak-minded souls who refuse to properly follow its tenets."

Best,
Jim
