I have to agree.
These kinds of debates based on BS occur not just on ATS, but on the conservative internet forums and boards as well.
They drive me nuts on two fronts.
(1) They are often pure BS. Like this thread where Pres. Bush implemented and passed the regulation to phase out the old Asthma inhalers, but the phase out comes to a conclusion in 2011...so the spin is...
Obama Administration to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concerns
Just BS.
(2) The second reason these threads drive me nuts is beyond their inheritant dishonesty...they are trivial and intentional distractions from issues that DO need debating.

Let's check the pro-obama "logic" for a minute - because obviously none of you ever do.
Bush gets credit for foolishly banning nasal inhalers even though it was implemented on obama's watch.
Bush still gets credit for the Solyndra loan, even though it was turned down under Bush and approved under obama.
The hunt for osama bin laden starts under the Bush administration, but obama gets credit because they happen to finally catch him - using infrastructure and tactics put into place under Bush - while obama is president.

Intellectually honest folks will recognize that I have debated Palin's credentials and capacity to serve in political office...not who she slept with.
So, keep on bashing Palin and her family while most of the rest of deal with current issues involving people who are currently IN office. It actually makes our cause much easier to have you continuously chasing smokescreens and rainbows.

Again, by your logic, the operations put in place under the Bush administration got osama bin laden - not obama.
