Yup, it has been happening since Bush's rule.

2004 Seattle Times article

Bush is gone now, so how about instead of crying, "somebody left Obama a pile of crap", Obama picks himself up and actually takes some action. I'm a dreamer, I know. Obama was left a country in pretty bad shape, so how about looking forward and fixing things instead of worrying about the last administration.

We need a president willing to take some decisive action, rather than just sitting in office and voting, "present". We're still in Iraq, still in Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay is still holding detainees, and he just plods along, changing little. He's been about as effective as Eric Cartman was when he became class president.

I would really hope that he would wake up and do something.
