Obama cracks us up

Here’s President Obama’s full statement, uttered during a news conference today with Italian Prime Minister Renzi. This was part of his response after being asked if he was concerned that the upcoming election results might be distrusted, given Donald Trump’s recent claim that the voting is rigged ~

If you start whining before the game’s even over, if whenever things are going badly for you and you lose, you start blaming somebody else, then you don’t have what it takes to be in this job . . . I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.

This, from the guy who’s spent the last eight years blaming everyone else for every problem he created or exacerbated? The man’s definitely got a career in comedy waiting for him when he leaves the White House.

Barack Obama Blames Everyone for His Failures but Himself ~ This Jan. 2014 article at Freedom Outpost includes a fairly comprehensive list of the various issues Obama refuses to take responsibility. His most frequent scapegoats have been George W. Bush of course, Congress, Republicans and Fox News.
 
The Name of Obama’s Game Is Blame ~ This piece is a couple years old also. Back in 2013 he was blaming the sluggish economy, terrible unemployment numbers and ballooning deficts on everyone but himself ~

“With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball,” the president said recently in the first of a series of campaign-style speeches. “Over the last six months, this gridlock has gotten worse. I didn’t think that was possible.”
 
Leaving aside the curious claim that widespread IRS abuses and administration untruths about the tragedy in Benghazi are illegitimate areas of inquiry, blaming “Washington” is not just a reflexive response by a politician with declining job approval ratings. It’s part of an orchestrated attempt by the president and his image makers to evade accountability for the results of his governance.
 
Make no mistake, when Obama says “Washington,” he doesn’t mean himself, and he doesn’t mean his fellow Democrats, even though they controlled both houses of Congress during his first two years in the White House. He means Republicans, Tea Party activists, fiscal conservatives and, of course, the Bush-era economy he inherited 5½ years ago.
