6. Obama Campaign's Not Blaming Bush for 'Burying' Middle Class

Following Vice President Joe Biden’s remark that the middle class had been “buried” over the last four years as a result of the policies of former President George W. Bush, the reelection campaign of President Barack Obama has gone into damage control mode as Republicans clamor to accuse them of laying all the blame at the 43rd President’s feet.

“We’re absolutely not doing that,” Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “In fact, we’re taking credit for the 5.1 million private-sector jobs that have been created over the past four years despite being handed the worst economy since the Great Depression. We’re taking credit for the million jobs that were protected under the president’s efforts to save the auto industry and the increase in manufacturing jobs for the first time in decades. We’re not blaming our predecessor by any means, but we don’t think we should return to the same policies that crashed the economy.”

“If you look at what the vice president said, and what he’s been saying on the campaign trail, is that the middle class has been buried by the exact same policies Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to go back to,” Cutter said. “You shouldn’t be cutting taxes for those at the top and asking the middle class to pay for it. You shouldn’t be undoing reforms on Wall Street that will prevent another taxpayer bailout. Those are the exact policies that crashed our economy in the first place.”

According to Politico, a June poll found 68 percent of Americans place a great or moderate amount of blame on the former president, while only 52 percent blame Obama.
