| In his weekly address, President Barack Obama blamed the economic problems on "bad decisions."(Snip) The president did not name which decisions were "bad," and who specifically was to blame for those "bad decisions." But he did blame Washington. "2013 can be a year of solid growth, more jobs, and higher wages. But that will only happen if we put a stop to self-inflicted wounds in Washington. Everyone in Washington needs to focus not on politics but on what’s right for the country; on what’s right for you and your families.

Well obviously it was the bad Republicans. They didn´t realize how good the government investment in solar power would be. Oh, wait.

How long can this oily, slimy excuse for a leader escape the inevitable grip of the truth: he is the one responsible for the bad decisions because ... he made them.
How long?

I can think of only two bad decisions.
The first bad decision was made on November 4, 2008, and the second bad decision was made on November 6, 2012.

Has he just been president for 3 weeks or has he been here the last four years?
Or maybe he´s Rip Van Soetero.

0bama always blames everyone for his failures. He takes no responsibility for his own bad decisions. His stimulus was a bad decision. Making the government responsible for student loan debt was a bad decision. Printing 83 Billion new dollars each month is a bad decision. 0bamacare is not only a bad decision, but will become a real nightmare when the costs kick in; the first four years, we are only collecting, but you wait and see, our healthcare costs will skyrocket to an unsustainable debt. Another very bad decision was giving the green energy people billions of dollars; his friends got rich, and the taxpayers paid billions of dollars to these companies, most of which went bankrupt.

D´Souza in his latest book quotes a dem economist in his saying that were he intentionally wanting to inflict damage on the U.S. economy, he would do exactly what Obama/Soetero has done.
Good example: Keystone nixed, millions sent to Brazil/Colombia to develop THEIR oil resources. Thnx O. We don´t like you either!

Is it me or does the propaganda sound like what the Soviet Union used to tell their people when there was a failure? Always someone else´ fault, not dear leader. Reading this stuff is live reading Pravda from 40 years ago.

There is no benefit to the Democrat Party to allow the economy to recover. That would give money and aid to the enemy, republicans. The Democrat Party has done everything it can to stop job growth. They remember Reagan, they remember the 90´s, they know what happens when people make money. We need to do the same to them, cripple their money. The first logical target would be Government Unions. Since this is not happening, I know the GOP is not serious about Governing. Cheers.

Obama is no fool, yet he is malevolent. Don´t underestimate him.
I often wondered why he makes such bad decisions for America and its citizens.
Then I stumbled across this link about "The shared agendas of George Soros and Barack Obama."
Illuminating to say the least. It´s a long read, but if you take it in parts you can get through it. It´s quite scary what these two have been plotting and planning.

It´s sad that what he means is it is a ´bad decision´ to oppose his economic policies. He really is incredibly ignorant on economics - his ideological rigidity stifles him.

Obama may be at the point he is going to blame his own Non-Muslim peeps. Look who´s been leaving... Of course, they never consulted Him before taking action.
Did you see he postponed the pipeline another 6 mo´s? Kinda hard to blame Chu when he´s on his way out...

"Partisan fishing expeditions" - like the amplifying clamor around news that the Internal Revenue Service targeted for excessive review conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status - White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday on "Face the Nation," won´t "distract" President Obama from doing his job. Pfieffer did admit, however, the the IRS´ conduct was wrong and should be fixed. "It´s inexcusable conduct that needs to be fixed," Pfeiffer said. "It was an incredible breach of the public´s trust, and we have to repair that breach; no question about that." But "this is a Republican

Even as his administration has faced intense scrutiny over a trio of controversies, President Obama’s approval rating hasn’t suffered, according to a new CNN/ORC International poll released Sunday. Fifty-three percent of Americans said they approve of the job the president is doing, while 45 percent said they disapprove. That’s virtually unchanged from an early April survey in which Obama’s approval/disapproval split was 51 percent to 47 percent. The poll is one of the earliest indicators of how Obama’s image has been affected during one of the worst weeks of his presidency.

DAMASCUS, Va - At least 50 people were injured Saturday after a car struck a crowd of hikers in the Appalachian Trail Days parade in Damascus. A Virginia State Police reconstruction team has closed off the bridge where the incident happened and is investigating it as a crime scene. According to authorities, a green Cadillac was traveling on Route 91 in Damascus around 2:15 p.m. when his vehicle cut through a nearby car wash located off Third Street, where the parade was taking place. The car then went around several vehicles in the parade and plowed

President Obama spoke of the importance of fathers to their sons on Friday after a young man he met at a community center in Baltimore mentioned wanting to provide for his sons. “You know, one of the biggest challenges – I grew up without a father,” Obama said at the Center for Urban Families, which serves fathers and their families. A man named Marcus Dixon had just told him about the center´s key role in helping him learn to provide for his family after being released from jail.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors. "The IRS goes AWOL when wealthy and powerful forces want to break the law in order to hide their

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis. Renacci´s Northeast Ohio Chevrolet dealership was closed in 2010 after losing a battle with General Motors. Congress loaned General Motors $50 billion in 2009 after GM declared bankruptcy, which resulted

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript
