Obama gives Americans one last slap in the face before heading to vacation

Before jetting off for two weeks’ vacation, President Obama laid the blame for the Iraq crisis at the doorstep of the Bush administration.

At a brief press conference Saturday on the White House lawn, Obama scoffed at the notion that he might regret not having left a residual American force in Iraq.

“Under the previous administration, we had turned over the country to a sovereign democratic Iraqi government,” Obama said. “In order for us to leave troops in Iraq, we needed the invitation of the Iraqi government, … and the Iraqi government, based on its political considerations, in part because Iraqis were tired of a U.S. occupation, declined to provide us those assurances.”

Calling it “bogus and wrong” to override the wishes of a sovereign government, Obama failed to take responsibility for his failed leadership, infuriating a host of listeners, including conservative commentator Laura Ingraham. Twitchy compiled multiple tweets on the topic, including these:

He ignores the wishes of the states in his own country (I mean America, not Kenya).

67 million traitors voted for this grinning traitor... twice.
