Obama busy playing the blame game

Posted July 22, 2012 4:53 am

Several years ago, President Obama reminded us that “the buck stops here.” I am sure most of us thought that meant he would take responsibility for any and all actions of his administration. As usual that was just another empty promise.

Because his past 3 plus years in office have been a dismal failure, he has taken to doing one of the things he does best, playing the “blame

game” Here are just a few of his excuses for his many failed policies.

ATM machines (if you can believe that one); the Japanese Tsunami, the European problems, the Japanese earthquake; globalization; automation; technology; George Bush; the weather; bad luck; business; prior administration; no shovel ready jobs; Bush; Super PACs; Republican house; not enough stimulus money; Fox News; Rush Limbaugh; Bush; the American people are soft and lazy. Oh and did I say George Bush? Don’t want to forget that one.

What a sad indictment of the man who is supposed to be a leader. It was his suggestion that he be replaced if he couldn’t turn the country around in three years. Well, his time is up. Let’s help him keep that promise next November.
