Ugh. President ‘blame everything but himself’ Obama blamed ‘dysfunction’ tonight on the fact people are frustrated and there’s a sense of ‘disquiet’ around the country:
VARIETY – President Obama on Wednesday raised money for House and Senate candidates at the home of Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn and his wife Cindy, in an effort to boost Hollywood contributions in advance of what looks to be a difficult midterm election season for Democrats.
Among the 90 or so in attendance were Barbra Streisand, Jeffrey Katzenberg and James Brolin, according to a pool report. Guests had dinner under a tent in the Horns’ backyard.
Acknowledging that despite a list of accomplishments that there is still a “disquiet around the country” as well as “an anxiety, and a sense a frustration,” Obama said that “the challenges out there remain daunting and we have a Washington that’s not working.”
“Those who don’t believe government can do anything are empowered, gridlock reigns, and we got this downward spiral of even more cynicism and more dysfunction, and we have to break out of that cycle and that’s what this election is all about,” Obama said in remarks that lasted about 15 minutes.
…
At one point, as he talked about the problems of inequality, a car alarm went off, and Obama quipped, “Sound the alarm, because we’ve got a problem.”
Perhaps it could be this crappy economy that he can’t fix or Obamacare costing people tons more money or job-killing regulations or people who are hopelessly on the government’s dime and see no way out or…..this could go on all night.
Is it 2012 2016 yet?
