The article contains this quote:
"Washington is all in a tizzy and everybody is pointing fingers at each other and saying it's their fault, the Democrats' fault, the Republicans' fault," he said at a town hall meeting Wednesday. "Listen, I'll take responsibility. I'm the President."
He added: "So for everybody in Washington who's busy scrambling, trying to figure out how to blame somebody else, just go ahead and talk to me, because it's my job to make sure that we fix these messes, even if I don't make them."
Is this what passes for taking responsibility these days? How about revealing that President Obama was a leading recipient of political donations from AIG last year. As reported in the WSJ Political Diary e-mail (paid subscription required):
"It turns out that last year AIG not only spent $10 million on lobbying Congress but also was a generous political donor. The top two recipients?
None other than Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, who collected $103,100, and then-Senator Barack Obama, who took in $101,332 (John McCain was a distant third). No wonder Messrs. Obama and Dodd both are scrambling to avoid the AIG tar baby. "
The Obama Administration is taking Orwellian rhetoric to new heights. I don't know what else to say about it.
