QOTD

Megan McArdle in the Atlantic:
I have a serious question for the people who are mounting [the "blame Bush"] defense: at what point in his presidency is Obama actually responsible for any bad thing that happens? Two years? Five? Can we pick a date for when bad things that happen on Obama's are actually in some measure the responsibility of one Barack Obama, rather than his long gone predecessor? And then stick with that date? Conversely, can we agree that as long as the bad things that happen are really George Bush's fault, any good things that happen should probably be chalked up to his administration as well?

Sure -- Easy: January 21, 2013, or January 21, 2017, depending on the events of November 6, 2012.

usually it takes four years which means that the whole first time of obama is the time of consequences of what buch did to usa. but i doubt that we will see true obama times, as he will not re-elected.
