When President Obama officially leaves office on January 20, 2013 and passes the nearly-extinguished flame of American Exceptionalism to President-elect Mitt Romney and Vice-President-elect Sarah Palin, he will leave a legacy of blaming others for his dismal performance.
Truly, Barack Obama has been the Blame Others President.
For example, Obama spent the better part of two years blaming former President George W. Bush for everything from global warming to the putrid economy to Michelle’s ongoing struggle to eat carrot sticks rather than Tacos.
Now that the W. rag doll has been battered into oblivion, Obama has been forced to dig deeper to find situations and people to blame for the putrid economy and his persistent bungling of damn near everything that he sticks his nose into.
Obama’s blame game hit new lows on July 8 when the numbers for June showed an increase in the unemployment rate to 9.2 percent.
In trying to explain the alarming news, Barack Obama blamed Greece, Japan, high gas prices, uncertainty over the debt-ceiling issue, and natural disasters across the globe.
Not once did the president mention the anti-business climate that he and his administration have deliberately created. That would include the potentially devastating impact of ObamaCare; the prospect of recovery-killing higher taxes; and a plethora of new EPA regulations sure to stifle economic growth and cost jobs.
From this reporter’s perspective, Barack Obama needs to own up to his own failings.
A good, long, hard look into a mirror might go a long way toward helping Obama identify the culprit in this era of rising unemployment, out of control spending, and exploding federal deficits.
