Presidential spokesman Jay Carney explains how the President's killing of the Keystone Pipeline was actually the Republican's fault. They were playing politics, which the President doesn't do.
"In terms of Keystone, as you all know, the history here is pretty clear. And the fact is because Republicans decided to play political with Keystone, their action essentially forced the administration to deny the permit process because they insisted on a time frame in which it was impossible to completely approve the pipeline"...Alas, the President who is unbound by contrary public opinion, the Constitution, congressional opposition, press scrutiny, scruples or consideration for those he disagrees with--the enemy, to his mind--had his hands tied by John Boehner. It makes me weep.
Is this the same president who proclaimed "I don't quit" when pushing ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, cap & trade (which, by the way, he is now pursuing surreptitiously through the executive branch) and an end to don't-ask-don't-tell? You remember, the president who has been touting for months that "where Congress is not willing to act, we're going to go ahead and do it ourselves"?
Is this the same person who is considering "We Don't Quit" as his 2012 re-election campaign slogan? Couldn't be.
The President's motto is apparently semper culpa tua est, numquam mea: It is always your fault, never mine. It's certainly his excuse for everything that afflicts the country from its poor economy, to international chaos, to the contentious political climate in DC and throughout the nation, to the skyrocketing price of oil and gas, and killing of the Keystone Pipeline.
Now that I think of it, his motto might be Verba mea sunt calidum aerum (my words are hot air), or perhaps Ego sum mendax mus (I am a lying mouse).
Only Republican presidents are denied the excuse that it's not their fault. Even Bill Clinton let his attorney general take heat for the Waco massacre rather than accept responsibility himself. He could have blamed Ronald Reagan and gotten away with it.
Every malady under a Republican president is his fault, whether it be a hurricane in cities and states run by Democratic administrations, or the collapse of markets blown into grotesque proportions by Democrat's affordable housing policies. It's still George Bush's fault.
Rather than face a rabid press corp eager to quarrel and rip his every answer along with his throat to shreds, Jay Carney addresses a body of fellow travelers who are eager to cover up and retard criticism. Even follow-up questions to mildly posed challenges are deferent.

"Always your fault, never mine." Doesn't that fill you with hope about the country's direction, and future?
