After eight years, the Clinton/Obama/Dems were STILL blaming Bush. Hillary in April, 2016:

There is a lot of frustration, and frankly a lot of anger. Many people are feeling left out and left behind in our great country. And they’re looking for answers and I don’t blame them one bit.

We need more good jobs with rising incomes because we fell back the last 15 years because of the terrible economic policies of George W, Bush.

Economy? Bush's fault.
Huge National Debt? Bush's fault.
Syrian Crisis? Bush's fault.
Water Disaster in Flint? Bush's fault.
Emperor Palpatine destroys the Old Republic? Bush's fault.

JR, question? Do you admit that the state of the country was different when Obama took office then when Trump took office?

Like most things, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Is it fair to blame the state of the economy in 2008 on GWB? Sure. Is it fair to blame Obama for rising healthcare costs for the average person? Sure. Is it fair to blame everything on the last president you disliked? Probably not, but it still doesn't stop people from doing it anyways.

Yes, the "state of the country" is different, in the eight years Obama was in office, the federal debt doubled and - for the first time ever - exceeded our GNP. Just like individuals, a country can- for a time - live high off the hog and create an illusion of economic health when it lives on credit. The Dems spent a ton of money they didn't have to fuel inject the economy.

... what's that sound I hear? Oh, it's that damn piper again.
