I have detected quite a few of the things
that were pointed out in this article.
Even if Republicans were responsible for every evil attributed to them by Democrats, why bang on about it after 17 months in office? The only answer is self-preservation, which is an unattractive trait in someone who's supposed to be leader.
But because he is stuck in a defensive crouch on the BP spill, the economy, Afghanistan, Israel, the bungling political maneuvers of his operatives, and more, Obama has no alternative but to play the blame game.
Yeah, but he is constantly talking about how he hates the Washington blame game but then blames everyone other then himself. This part had me laughing out loud.
The interview is already famous for Obama's line about relying on experts to tell him whose "ass to kick." The line is funny because what was supposed to be proof of his red-blooded American anger came off as clueless. What kind of leader needs advice on ass kicking?The funniest part is that Obama has to "rely on experts" to kick ass in the first place. That has to be the wimpiest thing an American President has said in a long time. This isn't tough talk about bombing but tough talk about stopping an ecological disaster. I know he really can't do anything other than saying "faster, faster BP" but the finger-pointing is really getting to be a joke now.
This part is the best description I have read of the Obama White House by far as well.
Pragmatists have turned their backs on the president after finding that the last, best argument that Democrats made in 2008 -- Obama's competency under pressure -- was actually decision-making paralysis masquerading as coolness.
This paralysis as coolness is rampant in the Obama White House. It happened with the protesters in Iran and on the backlash against Obamacare. You could chalk those up to inexperience now there are no more excuses.
