Obama's Blame Game

This from Bloomberg. Caroline Baum goes through 4 people or groups of people that Obama is pointing fingers at and blaming for the current public opinion of his health care plan, rather than admitting that maybe Americans just don't want what he's selling. I think she left out a major recipient of Obama-blame: George Bush.

I've said before that I don't believe Obama to be a strong leader. One of the easiest ways to tell if someone is ready for real leadership is to watch how they handle criticism and tough questions. A true leader, especially a sitting US President, does not continually throw out his predecessor as the reason why things aren't going well, why the public doesn't like what he's doing, etc. This shows a lack of class, character, and leadership. I'm sorry to keep repeating myself in muliple posts on this, but this seriously rubs me the wrong way.

Remember the old saying, King BO. Whenever you point a finger at someone else, you've got 3 more pointing back at you. Possibly a thumb too, but whatever.
