WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Washington "feels as broken as it did four years ago," when he took office.

He's most frustrated by the inability "to change the atmosphere" in the capital "to reflect the decency and common sense of ordinary people" who want leaders to solve problems.

He adds "there's enough blame to go around for that."

Obama tells CBS' "Sunday Morning" that there's no doubt that he underestimated how much "politics trump problem-solving."

Actually, it’s far more broken.

And there’s no one to blame but yourself.

I am reminded of the scene from 'The Rainmaker' where the rain clouds open up bigtime.

Obama is 'The DebtMaker'.

The country is falling apart and the Media is focusing on Obama’s cooking and pool-playing skills.

-—— “to change the atmosphere” ——

Only in the warped liberal minds does inability “to change the atmosphere” means pubbies must compromise....

As a long time American, that sentence makes me puke. I want "leaders" to get the Fluke out of my life and stay the Fluke out of my life.

That's because it's "bush's fault" and they don't want to make the story about Bush.

Wrong. It is much more broken now that we have a CB4 DMX Ne-Yo douche bag posing as prez-e-dent.

This simple p.o.s. Ubama doesn’t get it and never will.

One party wants only to confiscate as much as possible from working, productive taxpayers in order to use that money to buy the votes of its base of bums, deadbeats, losers, and parasites, while the other party wants only to “buy the votes” of working, productive taxpayers by protecting them from that confiscation. (I know which kind of “vote buying” I prefer.)

Yin and yang.
There is no “changing” it.
Ubama the simpleton must go.

WOW! It’s not very often someone openly admits to being so naive.

When people stop looking to DC as the cure-all for their problems, DC can be fixed. Until then, it is the biggest problem we have, and it will stay broke.

OK, let me try this again.

So he took a broken thing, jumped up and down on it, poured battery acid on it, kicked it in the testicles, buried it under a failed cesspool and is pole-axed by the notion that it didn't heal.

And it's still Bush's fault.

Nobody can “work together” (which includes “compromise”) with a liar. you only wind up keeping (or stuck with) your compromises while the other guy won’t keep his end of the deal (”no abortion funding” “no tax increases” “you can keep your doctor” etc).

“Ordinary People” are split in two warring camps. One believes that an emperor should make up laws as he goes and overrule the legislative and judicial branches; believes in unlimited free abortion on demand through the ninth trimester; believes in government stealing all the wealth of the nation to squander; believes people are entitled to layabout all their lives in government-provided luxury without working; and believes that we should all live in caves and eat berries and twigs.

The other half believes in God, Constitutional law, freedom, private property, individualism and a strong work ethic.

The two camps will NEVER come together in compromise. One group is continually shafted by the other and has about had enough.

Oblamo is a total idiot.
