NEW YORK, (PTSD News) — Karl Rove announced today on Fox News that the Republican strategy to shift the blame for all of America’s woes from anything the Republicans may have caused to Obama and the Democrats is a complete success. “Our goal as Republicans, which was so eloquently spoken by Rush Limbaugh, is not to be the party of ideas or solutions, but the party that makes Obama fail. And the best way to do that is to shift blame for everything we Republicans screwed up to the current president.”

Rove has been the mastermind of a new movement called the Shift of Blamers — or SOBs — who have replaced birthers, deathers, Tenthers, and teabaggers as the most successful anti-Obama group thus far. The SOBs are made up of prominent Republicans, Fox News and the vast majority of talk radio.

“We needed to defeat or water down any health care reform that would cut into the profits of our friends who run the health care industry,” said Rove, “and luckily for us, the Democrats haven’t learned that lies always trump facts and that every congressman has his price.”

“Health care was just the start,” Rove said, “we’ve turned Bush’s blunder in Afghanistan into Obama’s war in which if he sends more troops in, he’s a warmonger, and if he pulls out, he’s a gay French chicken. It took Bush eight years to completely mess up the economy, but we have taken less than eight months to blame the entire mess on Obama, bank bailouts and all.”

“When it comes to women’s right, traditionally a Democrat issue,” Rove said, “we have been able to pin the sexist label on the liberals for their harsh treatment of Sarah Palin and Carrie Prejean. This is surely some of my best work since I was able to convince millions of Americans that George W. Bush should be in the White House rather than the nut house.”

“With the help of all of those SOBs, we will regain Congress and the White House in no time,” Rove concluded. “Remember, it’s not whether you win or lose, but how you shift the blame.”
