Obama indicts himself on manufactured crisis and says "we've got to do some governing."
President Obama addressed the National Governors Association during their visit to the White House …
At 12:48, Obama indicts himself, his administration and the Congressional democrats …
“All of us are elected officials,” he said. “All of us are concerned about our politics, both in our own party’s as well as the other party’s. But at some point, we’ve got to do some governing. And certainly what we can’t do is keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis. As I said in the State of the Union, the American people have worked hard and long to dig themselves out of one crisis; they don’t need us creating another one. And unfortunately, that’s what we’ve been seeing too much out there.”
Bottom line …
The Sequester is a concept conceived by Obama’s nominee for Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew, and his advisory team. It is Obama that continues to pursue former Presidential Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s suggestion to “never let a crisis go to waste.”
And, no President in history has engaged in perpetual campaigning and failed to govern than Barack Obama. This is the classic “say anything, do anything” president whose words are often diametrically opposed to his actions.
