I touched on this in my last post:
The speech also blames Congress in general for inaction, which means he’s trying to offload blame that should be assigned to him to not only Republicans but his fellow Democrats, too. He’ll throw anyone and everyone under the bus to deflect blame from himself.
And now de facto DNC newsletter Politico reports that Democrats are indeed tired of Obama blaming Congress:
President Barack Obama spent much of the past month beating up on one of the country’s least popular institutions: the United States Congress.
This isn’t going over well with Democrats, who still run the Senate side of the Capitol and are tired of getting picked on by a president from their own party.
In fact, Democrats are even willing to go on record:
“It’s a point of great contention with the Democrats in Congress that feel like we’re doing an awful lot to support his agenda,” Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) told POLITICO on Wednesday. “And it’s very discouraging, disheartening and it’s really not fair. He may just want to keep that up, but it doesn’t help his relations with the Democratic members of Congress at all.”
Senator, we’ve been over this before. Barack Obama is a Chicago politician. Raised in the Chicago political machine. He will do and say anything and everything to save his own political hide. And that includes throwing you under the bus. If it helps his poll numbers, he’ll do it.
Obama has never been principled. Remember how he was going to close Gitmo within the first year? That was a monstrosity that had to go. Until poll numbers revealed it to be a losing issue. Then it could stay. He was all about being “green”, too. Then poll numbers turned and he withdrew some environmental regulations.
This is the same Barack Obama you elected. You’re just realizing it now because it’s time to throw you under the bus, whereas before he was just tossing taxpayers and Republicans. He hasn’t changed. You’re just starting to see him for the guy he really is. Your fault. You made your bed, it’s time to sleep in it.

Seriously? I am so tired of this “President!” and I use the term loosely. Here is a guy who has no reality of what problems that people are going through. I lost my home, I’ve been out of work for almost two years, my family is split up, I have no income, and live on my meager Social Security, I can’t afford to repair my car, and I can’t afford gas. He has made sure, however, that he takes care of his own race . . .the same one’s that flood the Welfare lines, live in housing they can’t afford, free education, and on and on. He is really good at speeches, but never shows any action. He can’t lead, he never takes responsibility for anything (always blames Bush!) and he has divided this country like no other human being, ever. This should finally prove to never elect someone to this high office who has never had a real world job, that required budgeting and decisions. What the hell is a , “Community Organizer,” anyway. I pray to God that this clown loses sthe next election, and goes back to his Community Organizing, where I assume he was good at. Are people really that stupid, that they can’t see the enormous harm he has done. I guess they are.
