the mess he inherited…

I found this little gem in James Taranto’s “Best of the Web Today”.  When discussing Obama’s ‘unprecedented’ whining about the “mess” his predecessor left him… Taranto responds:

The blame-Bush mantra, of course, is an echo of Obama’s own rhetoric. So how do we renew and restore ourselves? Maybe by waiting till 2012 and electing a president who has the capacity to lead rather than pre-emptively make excuses for failure by whining about the “mess” he “inherited.”
