Democrats: "Bush to Blame for Georgia"

You can tell when the democrats feel that they are losing on a particular issue when they resort to their old stand-by: "Blame Bush"

The link features Senator Daschle, but I heard the same line at least three times on various shows today. The line goes somethings like this:

"We've been focused too much on Iraq and not enough on these other issues. Obama would have focused on them and possibly prevented the invasion of Georgia."

This line might work for Americans who are hearing about the Georgia/Russia issue for the first time. Since they haven't heard of it before, it's easy to assume it must be new to the Bush administration as well. But of course the Bush administration has been involved in this situation, and doing the very diplomacy that Obama says he would have done. Additionally, McCain has talked consistently about this issue, so even if the Bush administration has been negligent, clearly McCain has not. Finally, this might be a good time to point out that the democrats have controlled congress for the past 1 1/2 years. What exactly have they done to prevent this?

Oh, but I ask too many questions. I forgot the talking points. If Obama was president, this never would have happened, and neither would have 9/11, hurricane Katrina, or the housing bubble.
