President Obama has found someone new to blame for his failures: the Founding Fathers - those brave men who fought a war to free America from Great Britain, and establish a republic based on a constitution that is still the envy of the world.
In a video posted Monday at Townhall, Obama told Matt Lauer that people are frustrated because he has not been able to "force Congress to implement every aspect of" his radical agenda.
"Our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes,” he said.
But he promised to keep "plodding away, very persistent."
"And, you know what? One of the things about being President is you get better as time goes on," he added.
A post at Freedom's Lighthouse notes:
Uh, that’s because the Founders were trying to prevent exactly what you are trying to do, Mr. President. They did not want the Federal Government to dominate the life of every citizen from cradle to grave. They wanted people to be free – to earn their own keep and keep what they earn. What a concept.
"All hail the king--in his own mind," wrote Greg Hengler of Townhall.
So far, President Obama has blamed George Bush, the Internet, ATM machines and a "messy democracy", among others, for his total failure to lead.
Now, it's all the fault of those pesky Founders who designed a system to ensure America never has a dictatorial chief executive. But not to worry. If he gets re-elected, he'll work on that as well.
