President Obama used his speech rolling out a stimulus-style jobs program Tuesday to point the finger at Republicans for allegedly facilitating the economic crisis and then foisting it off on his administration to solve.
While praising his own team for pioneering "ambitious" financial reform and "sweeping" economic recovery initiatives, the president took some pointed shots at Republicans who are now blasting the latest package as a spend-crazy "stimulus two" that will drill deeper into the deficit.
"We were forced to take those steps (to jump-start the economy) largely without the help of an opposition party which, unfortunately, after having presided over the decision-making that had led to the crisis, decided to hand it over to others to solve," Obama said, starting his address with a history lesson on the roots of the recession.

Just last week (at Westpoint) the guy was speaking how important it was that the country be united.
One week he’s saying the Republicans better get out a Mop or a Broom and clean up the Mess they made to a excited mob, now he’s back to insults and barbs.
I’ve never seen anyone get that far in life that doesn’t take responsibility. People respect people that take responsibility for their part, this guy has a personality disorder and it’s starts with narcissism.
Or megalomania.
You're right. They plan on spending as much as they can take from us plus as much as they can borrow. Raising taxes will just raise spending.
Just another one of those little inconvenient truths...
Really? That's the best news I have read all day!!! :-)
If you have noticed there was nothing wrong with the economy when the republicans held the majority. Unemployment was practically nonexistent and the economy was great.
Thins however changed when the Rats took over in January 2007

Sorry Super Fly, that dog won’t hunt anymore. Get another writer.
How does that make all those campaign promises in record-long Campaign tour and now has nothing but Blame Bush and the Republicans.
Why didn’t he say during his 18 month Campaign tour - I’m not going to be able to help you out.
Instead he promised Gas Money, Paid Mortgages, Free College, Better Schools, Great Opportunity, and that ever important Global Respect.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an emptier suit, a hollower man, if that’s a word.
I continue to wonder this...along with when they’re going to hold Frank & Dodd accountable along with Rangel. Waiting...
