The Scapegoat Presidency

On June 30, 2010, in Politics, by Henshaw

Who has time for solutions when there are so many people to blame?

I long gave up hope of the President being a uniting figure. The only people who actually believe that Obama wants to bring people together are so pitifully delusional it’s not worth the effort. What’s interesting to me is the fact the President is far more divisive than Bush. The Left loved to complain about how Bush was so divisive, simply because he existed. During Katrina did Bush ever call out politicians from the opposing party like the current administration?

It’s been a couple of weeks since Rep. Barton made his apology to BP and it’s been over 70 days since the oil started leaking. In that time Barton’s apology is the most positive political thing that’s happened to the Obama administration. I can only assume that’s the case because our great uniter is still bringing it up.

“The top Republican on the energy committee even had the nerve to apologize to BP for the fact that we made them set up this fund. Apologize to BP! He actually called the fund ‘a tragedy.’ A tragedy? A tragedy is what the people of the Gulf are going through right now. That’s the tragedy. And our government has a responsibility to hold the corporations accountable that caused it,” says Obama according to excerpts.

I can appreciate the fact that Barton’s remarks would seem a poor political move on his part; however, it doesn’t change the fact that there’s a never-ending oil spill. If a tar ball washes up on Siesta Key I don’t think I’m going to be any less angry because Barton’s comments helped Obama politically. It would appear that the President’s first priority is to find a scapegoat in every catastrophe.

  1. There is no question that Obama will be impeached. The only question is how much of HRH’s oil will you be forced to ingest before that happy day.
