A Profile in Chicken-Sh-t: Obama’s Blame-Gaming
14 Mar Posted by MacRanger as Barack Obama
His poll numbers shrinking, his initiatives failing, Barack Obama returns to his Waffles:
“It hasn’t taken long for the recriminations to return — or for the Obama administration to begin talking about the unwelcome “inheritance” of its predecessor.
Over the past month, Obama has reminded the public at every turn that he is facing problems “inherited” from the Bush administration, using increasingly bracing language to describe the challenges his administration is up against. The “deepening economic crisis” that the president described six days after taking office became “a big mess” in remarks this month to graduating police cadets in Columbus, Ohio.
“By any measure,” he said during a March 4 event calling for government-contracting reform, “my administration has inherited a fiscal disaster.”
Obama’s more frequent and acid reminders that former president George W. Bush left behind a trillion-dollar budget deficit, a 14-month recession and a broken financial system have come at the same time Republicans have ramped up criticism that the current president’s policies are compounding the nation’s economic problems.
Obama had initially been content to leave partisan defense strategy to his proxies, but as the fiscal picture has continued to darken, he has appeared more willing to risk his image as a politician who is above petty partisanship to personally remind the public of Bush’s legacy.
His approval ratings remain strong — above 60 percent, according to the most recent Gallup poll — but have dropped from their highs almost entirely because of falling support among Republicans since he took office.”
Of course the whole “inherited” in itself a lie. The Stock Market has tanked more than 3000 points since Obama took office, as well as 1.2 million jobs. But this is typical of Obama, as he blame-gamed all throughout the primaries and the campaign. Just remember that “thrown under the bus” got a new meaning as Obama chucked friends, life-long pastors and others under his bus to remain “clean”.
It will only get worse was conditions worsen. Obama IS failing, and it won’t be long before more - than just RINO Republicans - turn on him. It will begin in his inner circle, among his confidants.
Expect him now to move more back to center - after spending the last two months on the lunatic fringe doing the bidding of his uber left-wing base - and that will begin the collaspe within that “cabal” that actually brought him to power.
