I'm not really relating the recent events, or any other, in such a way as to say he held them on his own (Which is probably impossible to do, btw). Just like I wouldn't say the same for "most" of our other presidents. But when you're the president, you're responsible for what goes on in your country, good or bad.

The left had no problem parking every issue at Bush's doorstep when he was president. And he probably deserved 99 percent of it. But you just don't see that with Obama, except from the right. I just think he also deserves a majority of the burden, because when you're the f*cking president, you don't get to decide what you're responsible for.

But even that is irrelevant against the fact that regardless of how baseless any accusations are, the Odministration is more worried about defending themselves than fixing the problems. Obviously, I don't think that's such a new thing. It's politics in general. And that's what's f*cked up about it.
