Well, Mitch McConnell has, so I don't see why Obama shouldn't.

He can't blame others for his own failures.

"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." --Mitch McConnell

The Republican Party is actively working against President Obama solely to pin the blame on him for the bad economy. If it weren't for them, we would have gotten a lot more done.

Some people think that the president can do nothing about a bad or good economy. 
Obviously that is wrong, presidents have enormous sway over economic issues and through legislation. 


Its easy for liberals to blame the Republican congress instead of Obama for economic malaise. 

However, the actual picture is what is happening in the real world.  If liberals were actually small business owners instead of unemployed english majors, then they would realize that small business owners are specifically choosing to not hire anyone now because they don't want to pay increased taxes on things like "Universal Health Care"

So, its not the republican congress preventing unemployment, its this 3 year old enormous "Universal health care plan" that is increasing taxes on small businesses.  Its easy to blame corporations for all the evils in the world and blaming the one percent, but these corporations are employing the rest of the 99% of us.  Unless we all become hippie commune farmers, there's no way to escape this capitalist system. 

The economy won't recover unless the supreme court strikes down "universal health care" and if the health care law is approved, then expect 8% unemployment to be the norm for the next 4 years. 


Are you insane?!

1. The president can't get anything meaningful done without Congress. That's called the system of checks and balances.

2. It's not universal health care, it's universal health care's lamer brother.

3. "Unemployed english majors"? Really?

4. Congratulations, you've just entered the Official Alfred F. Jones Ignore List!

Probably he will in debates with Romney but it will make him look incompetent. As far as ObamaCare is concerned Pelosi mostly pushed that through for him.  He didn't push it through and use the bully pulpit of the presidency to do that.

I think the "big deal" to cut 4 trillion dollars off  the defecit he had with Boehner he should have taken it. It was probably a good deal for both sides of the aisle. "Simpson Bowles" he should have used the bully pulpit of the presidency to push that through. Those 2 things will make Obama look more incompetent than a mediocre economy I think.

So a president who's trying to be nice in the face of an opposition committed solely to ruining him should be considered mediocre because he can't get anything done? Are you blaming the Democrats, too, for not marching in lockstep back when Obama had exactly 60 Democratic Senators and needed every one of them? Also, remember that he only had 1 year or so before Scott Brown was elected.
