Associated Press Writers – 7 mins ago

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama insisted Friday that the U.S. economy is digging itself out of the deepest recession in decades but conceded that "progress has been painfully slow" and many voters in November's elections may blame him.

Facing a rising jobless rate, Obama told a White House news conference: "For all the progress we've made, we're not there yet. And that means people are frustrated and why people are angry."

"Because I am president, and the Democrats have control of the House and Senate, it's understandable that people are saying, 'What have you done?'"

The president, who also is the leader of the Democratic Party, spent much of his appearance before cameras on the defensive, underscoring his frustration with being unable to convince the public that his economic fixes are working.

These nit wit reporter’s title to this article uses the word “may” deceptively I believe.

‘They’ may blame him as in Obama is giving permission to voters to blame him therefore taking responsibilty...I highly doubt it!

It looks like they took Obama’s words out of context as it looks like Obama meant they may blame him but........ Bush, Elmer Fudd, Sam Hill and others did it.

Obamao and his policies are failures. The harder he tries, the worse things will get. His new oaf act isn’t going to go over very well. He should lay off the crack.

In a nutshell this is why we have a moron as president. One does not dig their way out of hole, one climbs out of hole.

Dear Mr. ZERO.

You and the DUMocrats OWN the Economy. AND you have OWNED IT since 2007.

A few interesting observations.

First, his advisors must be telling him the Bush bashing is actually detrimental to his cause. Folks have had enough.

But, we all know, he is a campaigner. A back seat quarterback. He must blame someone, and someone WILL get tossed under the bus.

Then he mentions that folks MAY blame him. This is as far as taking responsibiilty will go. MAY implies that they are misguided, they just don’t understand the complexities.

So what are those complexities?

Well, he starts to hint at the next victim of his “and the Democrats have control of the House and Senate”. Aha! How long before he starts to canabilize his own party? He will start with those that don’t tow his line. Watch. Those dems who are running away from him will now become fodder over the next few months.

By the end of his term, I bet there will be dems calling for his birth certificate.

Where he was once the “ONE” he will be known as “The President We Shall Not Mention”. The dems will want to conveniently forget that he ever existed, and will only trot him out for special “Bash America” occasions like they do with Carter.

“MAY implies that they are misguided, they just don’t understand the complexities.”

Exactly, if he replaced MAY with SHOULD, it would at least signal he “gets it.” At this juncture, he continues to sound as clueless as he apparently believes the general public is.

Dems/progressives took congress in Jan 2007... 3 1/2 years ago.

Unemployment was around 4.5%, the market was around 14,000, housing prices were on a steady climb... Then they took office

Tough to blame anyone else

Well duh.

Who does Mr. Community Organizer think it was that planted all those a$$paper/derivative-sprouting ACORNs in the pipeline?

The ACORN entitlement attitude on the Left, combined with the process of demoralization manifested in the “Fiscal” Conservatives on the Right - produced the perfect, systemically corrupt, financial storm. And that storm far from over, given the same immoral dirt-bags are still in control of the Apparatchik Juggernaut.

Elections do have consequences, Mr. Obama...

As Patton once said as he defeated Rommel in North Africa or to paraphrase loosely updated remark slightly ..

‘Obama, you miserable bastard.. We read your strategy book.’

Good point.

The douche-bag will never accept responsibility....it’s always someone else’s fault.
