Right-Wing Media Respond By Complaining That Obama "Blame[d] Bush" In Budget Speech

In Obama's speech many people believed that he was blaming BUSH for Budget situation that we are in now. I think that if this had a happen is the 1950s or 1960's nobody would have been openly talking about their president. This is what Kilmeade: Obama's Speech Was "Blame Bush." On the April 14 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade claimed that the theme of Obama's budget speech amounted to "blame Bush." Guest co-host Peter Johnson Jr. responded by saying, "All the way. Very perceptive, Brian." Kilmeade then stated, "How could you possibly, three years into your presidency, blame what happened eight years ago or along the way?"

We some times act as if everything was so GREAT when Bush was in office. As media practitioners we have to be objective and never take sides. I think a lot of media related people are taking sides and losing track of  that innocent college student that they once were wanting to be objective in every way and wanting to get that story. This is what  Jim Geraghty: "There Is A Lot Of Blaming Bush In This Speech." From an April 13 National Review Online post by Jim Geraghty:

There is a lot of blaming Bush in this speech. Quick perspective: Using numbers from the U.S. Treasury, we see that the debt during Bush's eight years in office increased from $5.7 trillion to $10.6 trillion, or $4.9 trillion over eight years. That's bad; that's basically $610 billion per year. But in the less than three years Obama has been in office, the debt has increased from $10.6 trillion to $14.2 trillion, a $3.6 trillion increase in about 27 months.  In other words, Obama is increasing the debt by $1.6 trillion per year, three times as fast as Bush.
