No, because Obama can't make a speech without saying I or me a dozen or more times. That is, unless he is blaming Bush or someone in his administration for his screwups. Then, not so much.
Yeah, at least he doesn't call himself the "Decider" like the doofus we had before Obama.
What is a good name for 'don't blame me, blame the other guy?'
What's a good name for someone that is trying to put all the crap Bush was responsible for under the rug and blame it on the new guy?
The 'new guy' blames his inability to deal with anything and everything on Bush, his staff, his political appointees, Fox news, Rush Limbaugh or the MSM. Try and keep up, OK!
Liar. Obama isn't blaming Bush, I am. Obama is just dealing with the crap that Bush left behind and doing a pretty good job of cleaning up. You have blinders and would rather have a doofus that puts you on welfare and out of healthcare, but oh my, he's a conservative! And, that Faux News, not Fox.....we all know better.
Here are some of the times Obama played the blame game, and there are dozens more for the uninformed.
WASHINGTON (CNN)-- As President Obama battles slumping poll numbers and multiple world crises,
twice in the past few days he has laid part of the blame for an anxious public at the feet of the media.
Monday at a Labor Day event in Milwaukee the President touted some of the positive economic news the nation has seen adding: "So, look, I'm saying all this just because sometimes,
you know, if you're watching TV, it's just kind of a whole downer.
He told a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Purchase, New York, some of those reasons for the uneasiness include those still unable to find a job and slower growth in wages and incomes.
But then he turned to the media and its impact.
"Second reason people are feeling anxious is that if you watch the nightly news, it feels like the world is falling apart."
But at the same time he blamed the explosion of social media for accentuating this concern.
"The truth of the matter is, is that the world has always been messy.
In part, we're just noticing now because of social media and our capacity to see in intimate detail the hardships that people are going through.
These are not the first times the President has played media critic.
In 2012 while discussing descriptions of his image as aloof, he told Time magazine, "My suspicion is that this whole critique has to do with the fact that I don't go to a lot of Washington parties and, as a consequence,
the Washington press corps maybe just doesn't feel like I'm in the mix enough with them, and they figure, well, if I'm not spending time with them, I must be cold and aloof."
Also in 2012 during a commencement speech at Barnard College he told the students:
"No wonder that faith in our institutions has never been lower, particularly when good news doesn't get the same kind of ratings as bad news anymore. Every day you receive a steady stream of sensationalism and scandal and stories with a message that suggest change isn't possible; that you can't make a difference; that you won't be able to close that gap between life as it is and life as you want it to be."
And in 2013 he said in an interview with the New Republic that
"one of the biggest factors is going to be how the media shapes debates" while talking about whether some Republicans would work with the White House

Obama often speaks of how important his staffers are to his bid and would be to his administration, and he’s praised them for covering for each other’s mistakes.
But in the heat of the campaign, he’s publicly called them out for everything from missing an event to misrepresenting his policy positions to using his office to aid a donor.

interview aired on 60 Minutes (one of his favorite shows because it fawns on him and, in the words of Steve Kroft, one of its talking heads,
won’t ask him tough questions) casts blame on intelligence officials for the rise of ISIS
President
Barack Obama said that
U.S. intelligence officials "underestimated what had been taking place in Syria," and that several years of political chaos in the country had created an environment for Islamic State to thrive in Syria and Iraq
