It's His Rubble Now

President Obama, in office a month longer than Bush was when 9/11 hit, now owns his presidency. Does he know it?

By Peggy Noonan

My comment: Noonan says the Obama administration's repeated protestations that "It was like this when I got here" sound like a dodge. Yes, of course they do. But she overlooks the fact that on a host of issues, Obama and the Democrats are responsible every bit as much as Bush and the Republicans for the mess(es) we're in. Obama, after all, was a U.S. senator, and Democrats have wielded tons of power on Capitol Hill for years.
