Obama Blames Founding Fathers...Where else have I heard that before?*

* This is close enough:

"The framers of the U.S. constitution have simply been too shrewd for us. The have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are to 'turn the Founders upside down' -- we must directly confront the constitutional structure they erected." ~ James McGregor Burns 1984
