Obama complains GOP has simple campaign slogan: “It’s Obama’s fault”

Obama complains GOP has simple campaign slogan: “It’s Obama’s fault!” “Obama warned supporters Tuesday that Republicans have boiled down their campaign against him to a single phrase that can fit into a 140-character Twitter message and unfairly blames him for the nation’s ills.” How dare they – everybody knows it’s Bush’s fault! His next fundraiser will be held in the Twilight Zone.

  • "Obama complains GOP has simple campaign slogan"....
    What is really simple are all those idiots that keep supporting this goof.

  • "Things aren't as good as they should be, and it's Obama's fault."

    There you go Barack, you taken the first step in the twelve step Becoming an Adult Program. The first step in becoming an adult is to take responsilbility for your mistakes.

  • As I read elsewhere, with all the whining Obama's done, you'd think someone forced him to be President.

    • Exactly. He is not George Washington no one came to his home and essentially cornered him and told him he better come and be President or something. If Obama feels this is an imposition, the thing to do is to just give it up.

      Complaining about people complaining about him is such a mark of a lesser human being.

  • barry has been in the WH for 3 plus years. The whole mess is his fault. The complete unrest in the Middle East, the collapse of the housing market, unemployment over 12% if the true numbers are used, racial tensions are as high as they've ever been.

    So you are damn right its all barrys FAULT!!!! Barry wanted the job and now that he has gotten it, he has NO clue what he needs to do. The Syrians are stilling kill each other, the muslim brotherhood is taking control of Egypt, Putin is arresting protesters for standing up to him. Yep, history has repeated itself. Jimmy Carter is back in the WH and making a total mess of everything. The difference between Jimmy and barry is that Carter at least was willing to admit he was wrong and didn’t attempt to blame others for his failures.

    Man up barry, grow a set or get yours out of Michelle’s purse and take the heat for the utter mess you have created. That and stop playing so much golf. Your game sucks. I'm willing to wager that his handicap moves up and down like the unemployment numbers. Its constantly being seasonally adjusted.

    • The problem is - he is not a man. He is a manchild. The golf outings, the teleprompter - I could go on and on - He's like an underachiever who goes to college, joins a frat, and parties all semester, then blames the teacher for his failing grades or worse, just smiles and shrugs his shoulders.
      He is like a character in an Ayn Rand novel. He's so horrible its almost like he can't be real.

  • Pelosi & Reed ignited the spending under Bush. Obummer and the dynamic duo went thermal. If not for the 2010 Republican take over of congress we would be in complete meltdown.

    • No, Bush did a good job on spending all by his lonesome. If we pretend he didn't then we will pretend Romney's spending is not his fault. Our country will be in complete meltdown if we don't admit the Republicans have a spending problem as well.

      • You are right, But I still think Bush worked with Pelosi & Reed to his own detriment just like Clinton worked with a Republican congress to his benefit. A staunch conservative congress is even starting to make Obummmer look better. Hopefully Romney will work with a Republican Congress and Senate to turn things around and set a standard for the future.

      • Good point. Just because they have an R next to their name does not mean they are better tn the dems.
        The main problem is incumbency and a permanent political class has emerged. Where I live there are about 5 families that get everything - city council state legislature judgeships high leve civil service jobs - while everyone else gets squat. There is a LOT of money in politics.

        PS On that same note, when I hear they are sacrificing themselves for a career in "Public Service" I want to puke.

    • That's a good one Al. Point being that as Dan Hawks said, Obama totally owns this economy now.
      He can't expect to take credit for what he percieves as successes, and no blame for the failures. It's all his now, and he needs to stop trying to blame Bush.

  • Waaa Waaa Waaaa....hurry up November 2012. Sad thing is, he will get votes to remain in Office, and, if the Republicans are not careful, he will get enough votes to REMAIN in Office. Obviously, he totally owns the present economy, and if pointing this out tends to make him wail and cry - all the better. KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid - Republicans should remain on point - and hopefully to victory in 2012! n0bama!

  • Ummmm, wasn't that Obama's entire campaign in 2008? Everything was Bush's fault (even though a lot of it was Clinton's). It's a bit unbecoming to get all butt hurt about someone doing something to get a job when you in fact did the exact same thing.
