How many other Bush SUCCESSES has Obama tried and FAILED to duplicate?
Bush's watchlist system worked for 8 years and 3 days. Even if you start counting with the shoe bomber on 12/22/2001, it kept us safe from airliner bombings until 12/25/2009.
If the system worked that long, why did it fail less than one year after Obama took office? The problem is not the system, it's the people who are now runing it.
They took a system that was working, and in less than a year it fell apart.
The BP oil spill was the same story.
The Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig first entered service in 2001. It operated for 8 years with award winning safety. In 2009 it won an award for exemplary safety through all of 2008.
Then in 2010, it blew up and caused the worst oil spill in history.
What changed? The president.
Is it time to stop chanting the old mantra "Bush started it," and start taking a closer look at the man who was in the driver's seat at the time of the crackup?
