Obama Lacks Introspection, Blames GOP For DC Dysfunction

At a Hollywood fundraiser President Obama declared the country dysfunctional. He complained that Washington isn’t working. This isn’t the first time Obama has made this or similar statements. Each time one has to wonder if he recognizes that he’s part of the problem. His solution is always to get rid of those trouble making Republicans. There’s never an acknowledgement that he or Democrats are part of the problem, if there is one. In reality Obama is a big part of the problem. He entered the White House declaring he won while refusing to work with Republicans. He set the tone during his first week, he should hardly be surprised when the now more powerful GOP doesn’t want to work with him.

I find it ironic that Obama goes to Hollywood to complain about dysfunction.

Obama has absolutely no idea how to work with people he dissagrees with. This is an important quality in a leader, but the country apparently does not require this ability from the current President. Over the last six years the GOP has gained more power in the states, more governorships, has taken over the House of Reps, and is poised to get more power if not take over the Senate in a few months. Who, Mr. President, is seen as the problem again?

We’ve heard this before.

Jimmy Carter called it “malaise”.

One year of Reagan in office, and the “malaise” was totally dissipated.

We need someone even more bold and more articulate that Reagan now.

The only one who comes close in my estimation is Ted Cruz.

“We’ve got the votes, f$&@ ‘em”. —Obama Chief of Staff.

There is also Obamas habit of agreeing to things then holding a press conference announcing his new demands and lambasting Those he made the agreement with.

Has this clown ever accepted responsibility for anything? True, he accepted all the credit for capturing Ben Ladin, but I’m talking about things where he really was there and made a decision, not some bogus photo op. Has he ever stood up and said: “I screwed up” (e.g., Benghazi, killing the Keystone pipeline) or “I lied to you” (e.g., you can keep your own doctor and save $2400/year in the process). The more I see of this guy, the more convinced I am that we need a current events and tax tests for voting. As long as we’re here, someone please tell me why this question hasn’t come from the media: “Mr. President, if you have nothing to hide in your past, why have you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars sequestering yours and Michelle documents from the past?”

You mean he did not talk about income inequality while in the presence of the downtrodden in Beverly Hills?
