Hume rips Obama documentary: 'Winners take responsibility. Losers blame others' (Video)
Daily Caller ^ | March 18, 2012 | Jeff Poor

Last week the Obama campaign released a 17-minute documentary intended to highlight the accomplishments of President Barack Obama’s term to date. The film, narrated by Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, has been criticized for being backwards-looking instead of focusing on the future, as some pundits suggest campaigns should.

However, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said the film’s biggest problem was not dwelling on the past, but dwelling on who to blame for the past.

“And he said he would not dwell on blame,” Hume said on Sunday’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday.” “I am surprised Tom Hanks could get that line out without coughing. This president is notable — and I mean look, politicians do this, this is not the biggest crime that ever happened — but this president has been notable … for blaming others. For the longest time, of course, it was former President [George W.] Bush who got all of the blame for the problems.”

The film is asking for a parody, like perhaps Joe Biden's greatest hits weaved in intermittently

It would be funny to see some of Joe Biden’s greatest hits.

“Stand up, Chuck.”

“You can’t go into a 7-11 unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

“Franklin Roosevelt went on TV and spoke to the American people.”

“The healthcare law is a b** f***** deal.”

Tom Hanks seems to be a reosonably intelligent man.

It’s hard to believe he can leave all reason behind, look at what Obama has done to America and then make a Documentary praising the Vacation king.

it must be some kind of Vulcan mind game.

I’ve heard a different version of that saying that also fits:

“Winners find solutions, losers make excuses.”

He’s been in DC a long time and has become inured to watching liars. The rest of us, however, are appalled at this president.

In his worst moments, Clinton didn’t lie with this frequency and predictability. The most frightening aspect is that Obama appears to actually believe the lie of the day, even if it contradicts one less than 24 hrs old.

It is a nauseating mix of hubris, stupidity and desperation that will see this green agenda apparatchik travel to Oklahoma simply to get his photo taken with an oil rig in the background.

The ability to consistently and shamelessly tell whoppers takes real talent. I always thought that Clinton was good at it but he's a lightweight compared to Obama.

Tom Hanks

Proof that Hollywood Whores will do or say anything for money by reading the words that others have written for them. Sort of high priced hookers with teleprompters. .

It took Clinton some effort to lie. Usually he raised his eyebrows, changed the tone of his voice, or pointed his finger. With o’bama, the lying is effortless.

Isn’t this the technique Stalin used? Stalin got the credit - the blame went elsewhere?

Millions died for his lies ..

Obama is way past blaming Bush. Now he's blaming the Constitution and the founders, essentially saying that if not for them, he could fix the nation's problems:

"Our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes."

By the way, it's "losers," not "loosers."
