Whiner In Chief

Barack Obama is still refusing to accept any responsibility as Commander in Chief and prefers to continue to blame the Republicans and George W. Bush for economic troubles.  The broken record continues:

Obama also did some campaigning for himself, defending his administration's efforts to fix the economy and blistering Republican critics, who he blamed for creating the crisis he inherited.

"I expect to be held responsible," Obama said. "But I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking."

Obama accused his GOP critics of having "selective memory" about the economy and said, "When I walked in we had a $1.3 trillion deficit. That was gift-wrapped and waiting for me when I walked into the Oval Office."

In other words, if you oppose Obama he wants you to shut up.  Never have I heard any President of any party issue such a blatant call to silence the opposition.  And liberals thought George W. Bush was out to trample rights and silence dissent.

Also, I think I read something last night about who liberals blame for creating this mess.  Must be Democratic talking points going around.

Maybe he means his own party. I seem to remember the leftist gained effective control in 2006. I don't remember their priority being to close up the affordable housing programs, or to look into capital requirements at banks, or looking into domestically produced oil. No, they were too busy just whining about Bush and ignoring the cracks that were beginning to show. The question to ask is why were they not being proactive? Obama was a senator, if he is so prescient why did he not push to solve the issues that plague us now? If anything he is the type of person who should get out of the way as he was the do nothing senator. These guys have had three years now, and are digging a deeper hole than Bush ever could.

Obama plan not working so have to blame someone else. This fool does not know how to accept responsibility.
