Obama: Washington took its eye off economic ball

GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) President Barack Obama is accusing Washington of taking "its eye off the ball" and getting distracted from the economy.
The president is trying to refocus debate on pocketbook concerns after months that have been dominated by what he calls "phony scandals" and "stale debates."
Obama's remarks come in a speech he's giving Illinois' Knox College. That school was the site of his first major economic address as a U.S. senator eight years ago.
Wednesday's speech includes no new policy initiatives, but Obama is declaring that reversing bad economic trends should be Washington's highest priority.

We must be twins - I yell exactly like this.
As he was pontificating a while ago, I was yelling ‘That POS should ‘boil in o__.’
At the very least, tarred and feathered and run out on a rail.
Such a father those girls have . . . shameful.
WE get to feel (sort of) better after exploding, but the curse carries on . . .
I understand your point completely. It is energy wasted, and interferes with a pleasant and productive life. Much of my personal frustration is working to put someone in office, only to have them stab us in the back once they get there. I would happily die standing next to someone with integrity. As it is, mostly we just sit while we are lied to and betrayed.
Same here. In fact, my wife jumped my case the other night as I was passing by the TV and he was making some kind of talk I instinctively flipped him the bird.
GOD I hate that POS masquerading as a PUTUS
Boy did he open the wrong can of words...I have been hearing this word tossed around since 2 weeks ago when Axlerod was on MSNBC calling them phony scandals. That is the meme here. Use the word phony and call Republicans “clowns”.
Undermine them.
Impeachment. Nothing else matters. All the investigations in the world mean jack crap. IMPEACHMENT.
The idea that the economy needs politicians to be “focused” on it is moronic.
Of course he’s not a part of “Washington”.
He’s a little whiner.
This dork will never take responsibility for ANYTHING.
Abandoning Americans to die in Benghazi then lying about it is a ‘phony scandal’? Using the IRS to steal an election is a ‘phony scandal’?
How bout phony pResident. And his phony assed wife.
He and his cohorts all took their eye off the ball from day one by concentrating on breaking the law to protect the UAW pensions and shaft the creditors, other campaign pay backs, and Obamacare.
All he knows how to do is speechify, and do whatever his cohorts from the rabid left want him to do or say.
He makes Carter and Clinton look better by comparison.
Obama just gave the finger to victims of the IRS abuses and the 4 Americans who died in Benghazi.
I am disgusted Republicans didn’t defeat this amature in a landslide.
Take a carefully scripted nationwide tour to speak before handpicked audiences of journalists and sycophants. But I repeat myself.
...said the phony President with stale platitudes
