Is there anything negative that President Obama has taken responsibility for?
In a sign of true leadership, President Obama is teaching those willing to learn, the fine art of blaming someone else. At a fund raiser for challenged California Senator, Barbara Boxer, President Obama laid the blame for her potential defeat squarely on……Boxer’s supporters!
“I don’t want anyone here taking this for granted,” he said at a reception at the California Science Center, the first of a trio of fundraisers Monday night for Boxer and the Democratic National Committee.
“Unless she’s got that support she might not win this thing, and I don’t think that’s an acceptable outcome. So I want everyone to work hard,” the president said.
Just like Obama’s previous deflections, Obama believes that none of the actions of the person responsible for their actions are the reason for the rejection they now face. No, Boxer’s challenges have nothing to do with her vote on health care or her unblemished support for Obama’s far left agenda. According to Obama, the sole reason Boxer might lose is a lack of support and effort from her supports.
Just keep dreamin’ those unicorn dreams Mr. President. November is rapidly approaching!
“Banks were greedy
Insurance companies are greedy”
Interesting thing about this is that Obama demonizes the banks for taking “reckless risks”, but he demonizes the insurance companies for their risk aversion in filtering new customers for pre-existing conditions etc.
It’s a nice trick to be able to demonize capitalism from opposite directions and get a way with it.
