Hey Odumbo, try taking responsibility for yourself. It would be a start.

Government is the source of almost all ills I can think of. One very small example: we’re remodeling our kitchen (goodbye 1952 Rancher kitchen that raised three kids!!) and the government regs we have to deal with are staggering. We have to meet the idiotic California “Title 24” regs that require us to put all LED lights in the kitchen. Each LED can by Elco costs $189 compared to about $30 for a regular incandescent can and bulb. Our overall project is over-budget by $1,800 due to lighting alone (we forgot we could no longer use incandescents). And don’t get me started on the framing, plumbing, electrical, outlet spacing, firewall, window and insulation regs.

This is a typical Obama ruse building creating a straw man then knocking it down. Nobody believes government is the source of all problems. He does this all the time, and its pure dishonesty and manipulation.

Totally cryptic, nonsensical, incoherent.

Shut up, you nitwit. If we really ran the country, it would be in much better shape. That’s why a vast majority of Americans now say the nation is on the WRONG track.

Internet sobriety tests will soon be all the rage. The technology to measure blood alcohol levels, drug substance use utilizing breath-analyzer-type devices will soon put an end to demented psycho comments like yours.

How ironic - the poltroon who refuses to accept responsibility for anything, yet claims to be President of everybody, says that the People must accept responsibility for his atrocities on us.

Kind of like a wife beater saying< "I don't know why you make me do this to you"....
