by the time Obama first took office in 2009, a tongue-in-cheek joke was already flying around the Internet about him strolling into the Oval Office his first day on the job and finding a note in the desk drawer from Bush. The message read, “Good luck, Mr. President. For the time being, feel free to blame me for the state of everything.” Three months later, in a more obscure place, Obama finds another note from his predecessor, again expressing the sentiment that #44 could probably continue to blame #43 for all his troubles. Along about Christmas of that first year, Obama stumbles across a memo from Bush that simply reads, “The economy is yours. The deficit is yours. The war is yours. You’re on your own. Good luck.” Now, well into his second term, Obama has become a caricature of himself. In fact, if Saturday Night Live were to do a spoof on the Blame Bush phenomenon, it would look a lot like Obama’s actual statements.
