I swear, you just can’t make this stuff up. Responding to a question at his town-hall meeting today that expressed frustration at the slow process in the debt-ceiling negotiations, Barack Obama put the blame on voters for the divided government. If Democrats had the town all to themselves, Obama says, he’d be able to spend more time this summer with his daughters:

Say, didn’t Democrats have the town to themselves in 2010? Didn’t they have an opportunity to raise the debt ceiling at that time, and pass a budget for FY2011 as well? In fact, Democrats still control the Senate in 2011. Where is their plan to deal with the issues? For that matter, where is Obama’s?
After all, the House has now passed two of their own plans, the Ryan budget plan that would have (slowly) brought the federal government’s budgets into balance, and the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act that would have forced Washington to do it a lot more quickly. Where the Democrats still have control, they have produced … nothing. Except, of course, whining about how presidenting is kinda tough.
“Barack Obama put the blame on voters for the divided government.”
Stupid slaves need to submit to his “won-ness”.
Barry Sotero letting his inner Chavez peaking through.
Dear President 0
Stop lying. The House did it job. It presented a plan. You and the Senate Democrats threw a hissy fit and rejected that plan.
You and the Senate Democrat arrogant refusal to do anything at to solve this problem is what is preventing a solution to the Debt Ceiling issue.
Where is your plan Democrats? Reckless words and shameless demagoguery for your “news media” propaganda bots are not a plan.
We voters are working on solving that problem next election.
over 800 days the RATS have done nothing about the budget, waiting on DUMBO, now he pops up and squawks..useless POS
why anyone listens to this dufus,
is beyond me.
WHAT IS BETTER THAN A CORPORATE JET?
a government jet that your big arsed wife fly’s around on
spending money we do not have. How much was spent by her and your entourage going all over.. Well they were flying in a government jet all paid for by the taxpayers who you want more from working folks so they can fly around in their GOVERNMENT JET. Maybe Obabama sould set the example for the rest of the nation by not flying in the govenmenmt jet next time he has a fundraising event (Which is about every 3 days).
I am starting to wonder if this vermin in the White House is going to engineer a constitutional crisis? He could use the “debt crisis” as a trigger event. This individual and his associates may be the first to attempt a coup to formally end a dying Republic.
What is his excuse for not passing a budget last year!?
“Obama says, he’d be able to spend more time this summer with his daughters:”
If things turn out....we’ll make it up to you in November 2012.....
Chavez, a dictator, started out as a socialist. Why can “smart” people not see this?
Jeez!....good one!
Exactly.
How can you 'compromise' when the other side has no plan as a starting point?
All the dims have is ideas they won't accept. And then blame the repubs for no deal. Idiotic, as usual.
The voters keep electing Democrats, this is what happens.
I guess, in a way, Obie Won is right.
You could be right. I just wonder who is pulling his strings. He can’t put a sentence together by himself.

A beleaguered Presi dent Obama has told aides it would be so much easier to be the president of China, The New York Times reports.
There are two ways to read the remark, which is attributed to anonymous aides. One is that Obama resents the burden of global leadership that comes with the American presidency. The other is that he longs for an authoritarian system, where he need tolerate no dissent.
Under either or both interpretations, his confession carries a dose of self-pity that means Obama has hit a wall.
Maobama
He is in over his head, and he knows it.
