“Senior” Obama admin official claims that Gitmo recidivism rate is Bush’s fault

"I sure as hell wish this administration could get their facts and stories straight. I also wish they’d make up their damned minds. I also wish that for once, just once, that they would stop blaming everyone else for their own missteps. Obama’s 'buck stops with me' remark from earlier today just doesn’t cut it. It’s typical of juvenile narcissists like the ones we have in this administration – and typical of salivating supporters like Andrew Sullivan, who buys the 'it’s Bush’s fault' argument by this senior official to a 'T' – to blame everyone but themselves when something goes wrong, which can be a deadly attitude to take in these uncertain times because when you blame everyone else for your problems, that means you’re not accepting responsibility and therefore won’t find any need to engage in any meaningful corrective action to try and prevent the problem from happening again. IOW, you don’t learn from your mistakes when you continually shove responsiblity for them onto someone else."
