IN his campaign speech on CNN, FOX, MSNBC...everyone seemed to love him! He inherited this mess...well, that’s what he said 4 or 5 times today.

A Democratic Congress ( which he was a member) started the decline and lack of congressional over-site.

I guess since he was not there he is not to blame?

I guess he weren't so sure he had to have the porkulus to fix the problem. Since the Democrats were in control since 2007, it's an inescapable position. It was his charts that showed how to fix things. And his charts that show how it's all gone bad.

I suppose if he hadn't been so gosh danged sure that if we didn't pass the porkulus Recovery Plan by Friday, he may have an out. Roll tape, end argument. State run media has the video.

But like a rat caught in a trap, the more he squirms the more it hurts. After a will you look whiny and no one thinks the pres ought to be a whiny one.

Don't you love his charts with the decorations on it called actual? One of the big pitfalls of being so sure of yourself that you close off all escape routes. Once your credibility is burnt, you are toast.

I don’t know about you, but I am so tired of hearing this “but I inherited this” If I do recall, he was a Senator back in 2006 when all the crap hit the fan. Real leaders don’t make excuses, they get the JOB done. Little people know this, but we were in a recession back when Bush took office. Did he whine about it? No, he went to work and got us out of it. What if we had General Patton going around saying “I inherited this war, it was the Japanese that attacked Pearl Harbor”. I am so sick of this “Whiner-in-Chief” Grow up Obama, or step aside, let real men run the Country.
