NEW YORK (AP) — Aligning himself with a public fed up with economic uncertainty and Washington gridlock, President Barack Obama declared Thursday: "There is nothing wrong with our country. There is something wrong with our politics."

His toughly worded message — he said there was frustration in his voice, in case anyone missed the point — came amid a series of polls showing that people are disgusted with political dysfunction and are dispensing blame all around, including on Obama.

Obama aired his frustration with the ways of Washington at an event in Michigan before pivoting to his re-election campaign and a pair of big-money fundraisers in New York City.

He delivered a condensed version of that message at a fundraiser at the lower Manhattan home of movie producer Harvey Weinstein, where celebrities Gwyneth Paltrow and Jimmy Fallon, were among the approximately 50 guests who paid $35,800 each to attend.

We voted FOR gridlock to stop the insanity. We would have voted out the Senate majority too if the entire body was up for election last year.

What an embarrasment and a disgrace this fraud is.

Reagan had chunks of guys like him in his stool.

Aligning himself with the public...too cute.

[SERKIT]

Could it be that people don’t like the “fundamental change” that Barry wrought onto America? Are his Marxist chickens a-comin’ home to roos’?

There is something wrong with our politics.

Gee, I could have told you that when we elected a not-even-one-term Senator President on the basis of his race and speeches (vs. actual accomplishments).

Of course, he didn’t bother to put one thing in writing during the whole Debt Ceiling “Crisis”.

The guy really needs psychological help, or a good ass kicking.

How does he pretend to stand there, above the fray, thinking he has nothing to do with anything in regards to this mess he created?

What a creep!

The main problem with politics today is that we have a Marxist in the WhiteHouse.

[Chi-townChief]

Can’t disagree - there is something wrong with their politics.

Obama, you want to know why? In the words of Capt. Kirk, “ Because you are a bumbling, inept fool!”
