Harry Truman said this. Wouldn't it be nice if our President would take some responsibility? Any responsibility? Follow this link to 6 pages of Obama Blames..... http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_080811/content/01125109.guest.html according to this article by Limbaugh, Google "Obama blames". I did this http://www.google.com/search?q=presidents+and+blame&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#sclient=psy&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=txT&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&source=hp&q=obama+blames&pbx=1&oq=obama+blames&aq=f&aqi=g-z1g4&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=3192l3192l2l3445l1l1l0l0l0l0l199l199l0.1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=5d668ca344cc751b&biw=1061&bih=594 Amazing! He blames everybody from Bush (the obvious) to ATMs, to Ronald Reagan. I make it a personal goal to ALWAYS own my mistakes. Why can't Obama own even one? Please do not defend the man unless you have read all six pages. These include dates and places where it occurred.

Hi, Laglen, it's been awhile. By the time we get this guy out of office, I'm betting there will be six more pages of "Obama Blames". I wouldn't be surprised if all old ladies in south-central NM weren't to blame for something gone wrong under this administration in another few months. When you get time, give me a hollar.

It is probably their fault that the US was down graded. Be careful, they will probably be blamed next!

there is always something to blame some one no matter who he is, who ever is in charge has the guilt, so its not about President Obama or President Bush is about who ever is in charge.

There is no defense for the man. Rush has it right - he's immature.

I agree, when do you start backing up what you do? This is a kid that couldn't get other kids to play with him....

I have a very simple policy when I make mistakes at work. Acknowledge the mistake, apologize for the mistake, explain that it won't happen again. Lastly, and most importantly, I make sure it does NOT happen again. Even at times when someone else is partially or mostly to blame for the mistake, I typically don't bother telling that to my supervisor. Doing so would make me look like someone who would rather make excuses than fix the problem.

That is exactly it! You are an adult and are handling things as an adult should. That is a very good policy and if more people followed it, a whole heck of a lot less mistakes would happen!

I don't blame the guy solely for everything from the economy to my sink linking, but cripe...just once I'd like to see the man come out, give a press conference and say, "yeh, think I really really screwed up this time".

exactly! Just once, even if it is the color they painted the walls. But to consistently tout his greatness when his administration has done NOTHING but negative.

It is well known that some people wont take responsibility for anything and will always blame everybody and everything for their problems. He's in deep doodoo and its all his fault and all the politicians behind him!! You'll know who to vote for next time I guess. Too bad Trump is not running for President. I think he would have made a great one.....he could FIRE all those who are sitting on their a**es collecting YOUR money!! We should have him here........mmm do you know his phone number?

Come on, the last president who believed the buck stops here WAS Truman and that was sixty years ago.

And right after he blamed everyone he ran off to a campaign/birthday party to ask for money to do some more passing of the buck for the next four years. I won't say 'I told you so', but haven't we been saying he's unable to run the country all along? And I do blame him and the Democrat party for the most part. It's their entitlement mentality that has gotten us into this mess. It's all just coming to a head under Obama and he's given it the final push. Look wants happening in the UK, riots in ths streets and the pundits are saying that's what we have to look forward to in the next ten years or so if we don't get this under control NOW. I don't have internet at my house anymore, but I've been watching TV more and saw how the whole 'budget crisis' thing went down. The Republicans in the House had three bills passed and the Democrats in the Senate refused to even consider them. And NOW they're trying to say its the Tea Party's fault we got downgraded? Give me a break!
