From President Obama’s press conference, a bit of self-righteous straw-man creation followed by blaming others:
Q: How have you changed Washington?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’ll tell you how we’ve changed Washington. Prior to us getting here, as I indicated before, you had a set of policies that were skewed toward special interests, skewed towards the most powerful, and ordinary families out there were being left behind. And since we’ve gotten here, whether it’s making sure that folks who can’t get health insurance because of preexisting condition can now get health insurance, or children who didn’t have coverage now have coverage; whether it’s making sure that credit card companies have to actually post in understandable ways what your credit card rates are and they can’t jack up existing balances in arbitrary ways; whether it’s making sure that we’ve got clean water and clean air for future generations; whether it’s making sure that tax cuts go to families that need it as opposed to folks who don’t — on a whole range of issues over the last 18 months, we’ve put in place policies that are going to help grow a middle class and lay the foundation for long-term economic growth.

You hate to say it? I figured when he got elected he wouldn’t last one term; he’d have a nervous breakdown.
It’s coming...it’s coming...
Maybe even live on TV! Yay!
It’s always someone/something’s fault in ObamaWorld.
Obama is a disgraceful person.
But, I’m glad he was elected. It will put progressivism back 50 years.
He’s the perfect putz.
Now the policies are skewed towards his own special interest.
It is interesting what moods photographers can catch of our emotions. How often have we seen this picture of Michelle with this distant angry snare. Is it me or is she not happy?
See post 16
Unions aren't special interests? Union bosses and capos aren't powerful?
0bama lives in his own special world. To bad it isn't reality.

Well, we will see!
Once he starts to really unravel, many Dems will repudiate him like rats leaving a sinking ship.
Obama to GOP: ‘I Won’

Obama is never going to be a REAL MAN until he can stand up and say “It’s my fault”. All he can do is whine and cry and blame it on someone else.
And Bozo the Clown is his backup.....what were people thinking????????
Good stuff, thanks!
this punk should have stayed in Chicago.
I took the Hendrix quote to be more of Obama’s narcissism. He listened to the song of an authentically black, very talented American, and like a true narcissist he appropriated the image to himself. It fits his poor-picked-on-me image.
Plus, as his poll numbers fall, he may be seeking solace in the idea that Hendrix probably faced prejudice* too. [I don’t know that he did in fact; I don’t know much about Hendrix at all. He did pretty well in the free market land of opportunity, just as Obama has done—the main exception being, Hendrix really could play the guitar whereas Obama can’t even do a press conference without a teleprompter, and has no accomplishments of any kind.]
*I don’t think Obama has faced prejudice. I just think he loves to sit around imagining he has.
That is SOOO funny! One of the best captions EVER!
Jimi Hendrix was one of (if not the) most innovative guitarists of all time.
Unfortunately, his agents put him on the road (hard travel), filled the band full of drugs, gave him spending money and kept the real cash.
The surviving band members wonder where all the money went.
Tragedy - Jimi Hendrix was truly amazing.
