Hello fellow Republicans,
I have called you here to address a nagging little problem that won't seem to go away. People are still blaming George Bush for problems that happened during his presidency.
Specifically, people are blaming him for the destruction of the housing market. They're also blaming him for a failure to employ basic and long-standing defense protocols for defending the Eastern Seaboard, like having planes "scramble ready" in case of an attack. Finally, they're blaming him for the destruction of the banking, financial and credit markets - all of which happened while he was president.
I'd like to remind you of the talking points that we used when people started to blame him for these things that happened when he was president.
Take the housing meltdown. We must keep reminding people that this was caused by Jimmy Carter's Community Reinvestment Act (which sought to help poor working class Americans buy a home).
Take the Wall Street meltdown. We must keep reminding Americans that this was Bill Clinton's fault.
Take 9/11, the largest terrorist attack on the American homeland ever. This happened even though he was told in August 2011 to have planes "scramble ready "so our military could intercept hijacked planes before they were used as bombs to attack high density cities.
Remember what we told you: 9/11 was also Clinton's fault because he ignored important warning signs and failed to take terrorism seriously.
To repeat: everything bad that happened during the Bush presidency was either Carter's or Clinton's fault. Bush must never be blamed for anything, especially the things that happened on his watch.
