Let’s spread the blame a bit more….

In a recent column, E. J. Dionne at WashingtonPost.com thrashed President Obama for “bailing out” House Speaker John Boehner in the ugly culmination of the vote on government spending. Dionne said the president is mishandling the interests of his own party—again—in dealing with the fractured partisans and ideologues in the GOP.

I'm completely tired of hearing commentators and politicians bash President Obama for the failure of our government leaders to embrace reasonable negotiations and compromise to get the business of governing back on track.

Certainly, I am disappointed in some of the president's policy and political moves in the past six years. Very disappointed.

But it defies understanding to keep hammering on President Obama's acts and omissions as if he were the cause of the fractious bickering and grandstanding and self-serving malfeasance of the members of Congress. 

Let's be more fastidious about who we blame for what. 

 You infer, I infer....

What "mandate for change" ?

You oughta vote

...a foundation of ignorance...

Third party?....I don't think so

Congress lets poor Americans get poorer

I love my congressman, I love him not....
