It’s not ‘his’ fault. It’s just that everyone else ‘doesn’t understand him’.
I don't get that from the article.
They say he was too well-behaved and compromising and eager to please, and hold out the hope that he'll make a comeback, but I can't find the part where they blame his failures on anyone else.
He’s egar to please, but it is not the Republicans but the Pelosi-Waxman wing of his Party. Just look at his appointees.
“but I can’t find the part where they blame his failures on anyone else.”
Really?
How about this?
“With the debt-ceiling debate, the right-wing Tea Party movement has taken both Congress and Obama’s presidency hostage.”
Or this?
“It is no longer the president who determines the issues and sets the tone of the debate, but a small, radicalized group of unashamedly amateur politicians who have declared the government to be their enemy.”
And that’s just 2.
You need to read ‘into’ the article a little bit more.
It’s not hard to spot.
