The president and his team often whine about the bad set of circumstances the Democrat has had to deal with, you know all those problems they “inherited” (as if their was the first administration to face problems left unresolved by the previous president.) The Democrat’s chief of staff put it recently, “Considering the debacle that he came in with, the tough choices he’s made and how there have been few, if any breaks, he says it himself all the time. . . .”
President Obama, as Jim Geraghty (who linked the quote above) reminds us:
. . . has been using the “run of bad luck” line on the stump, too. He cites the Arab Spring as an economic headwind, but let’s face it, Egypt or Libya or Syria or one of the Gulf states could have completely collapsed from internal uprisings. He mentions the tsunami in Japan, which as we all recall was so traumatic to the president he could only cope by going over his March Madness picks with ESPN. Yet obviously that could have been much worse, spreading much more serious radioactivity over more-densely populated areas of Japan. He cites the European debt crises, and again, it’s not hard to imagine that circumstance turning out much worse – such as a collapse of the Euro or serious social unrest in Greece and elsewhere.
Nothing is ever the fault of Obama and the team around him. It’s just that the universe seems to enjoy disappointing him, I guess.
Emphasis added. Maybe the president wouldn’t be as upset with the universe if he took the advice of that politician who told Jay Leno that “one of the things” he was “trying to break is a pattern in Washington where everybody is always looking for somebody else to blame.“
Sort of like how every crop failure and outbreak of starvation in a socialist country is always due to “bad weather”….
I wonder what Mr. Obama did in his life to be afflicted with such bad karma.
It’s obvious that Obama is a whiner.
Re: Greece/Europe… one of the untold stories is how Obama has made it all worse. Capital markets are international, these days. When Obama runs deficits of $1.4 trillion a year – and he has been – the pressure on European sovereign bond markets ratchets up.
Think about it, Roberto – the country must have been as evil as the lefties think it is – or worse – in a previous life to have been inflicted with Obama!
I don’t feel all that evil…
They have a Chief of Stuff?
TGC, LOL! Oops. Will fix.
You know the “stuff” they pass along to those who support them.
Should be the Chief of Other People’s Stuff, or Czar, Obama needs one of those so he can rev up his redistribution program goals…
Yeah, the nice way of saying “shit”.
Therefore, Obama says he has zero failures. Another reason to call him Zero.
Well obviously, it’s Booooosh’s fault!
Didn’t a lot of disasters occur during George W. Bush’s presidency? Such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the tsunami in Indonesia? Not to mention the political instability that also existed then in the Middle East.
I wonder if George W. Bush ever blamed these external factors on his difficulties and failures.
Once has to realize that the Obama Party and its adherents, especially in the gay and lesbian community, are all about blaming other people for your problems.
The latest hilarity is from Obama puppet Rob Tisinai, who just posted this whine about income inequality and supposed “inelasticity”.
Chief is this most clueless statement:
And no career path depended on gender, race, connections, height, weight, or anything but merit.
But what does Rob Tisinai and the OWS Obama Party/gay left he represents want? Laws that dictate how much you “should” be paid and whether or not you “should” be hired, fired, promoted, or whatever — based on your gender and race, not on your merit.
Furthermore, what has Rob Tisinai and his OWS Obama Party/gay left done? They punish people who make more money and reward those who don’t want to work and want to live off welfare instead.
This is what makes them hilarious. They themselves have caused the “income inequality” and “immobility” that they complain about. They’re just too clueless to realize it because they are leftists.
To be precise: Bush inherited a major stock market crash and recession, the “dot-com bomb”. Not to mention, as you point out, 9/11.
I don’t remember Bush whining about it.
#14 – He never did, ILC. Real men don’t whine.
And yes, I went there. Deal with it.

Said by someone who voted for an inexperienced, half-term senator with no real world experience for president of the USA primarily on the basis of his race and connections.
