Seems we just can't possibly "think" clearly while so concerned about the economy and direction of this country.

In his remarks at a Democratic fundraiser in Massachusetts Saturday evening, President Barack Obama said that Americans’ fear and frustration” are to blame for an intensely competitive midterm election season favoring Republican candidates.
“Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we‘re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country’s scared.”
Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” According to Politico, Obama blamed the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to “think clearly” and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.”
“You can respond in a couple of ways to a trauma like this,” Obama said, referring to the economy. “One is to pull back, retrench and respond to your fears by pushing away challenges, looking backwards. Another is to say we can meet these challenges and we are going to move forward. And that’s what this election is about.”
In similar remarks earlier in the day, Obama blamed Republicans for being uncooperative, saying the party decided to “ride people’s anger and frustration all the way to the ballot box,” and predicted more partisanship and gridlock next year. “I don’t anticipate that getting better next year,” he said. “I anticipate that getting worse.”

Always "OUR" (or George W. Bush's) fault, the citizenry in general is the problem, never the gov't fault, certainly NEVER HIS fault,
Yes BHO, your agenda is going to be stopped, repealed, cancelled, suspended, rejected, overruled, not tolerated, and you sir, are going to be nothing but a one-term Jimmy Carter v 2.0, and a blemish to the opening decades of the 21st century.
Go play some more golf,..... I believe "hack" is a golf and suitable term to describe your policies as well.

I think it's time to pass on a definition of politics.
POLI: from the Greek meaning many.
TICS: blood sucking creatures.
Kinda fits don't it?

Don't mind Barry, he can't conceive of anyone wanting to get rid of his kind of politician.

I think that Obama is every negative thing that he accuses the American people of being.

Partial truths....
what BHO said was
Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” According to Politico, Obama blamed the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to “think clearly” and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.”
What is true ...
Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” According to Politico, Obama blamed the economic downturn for Americans’ renewed ability to “think clearly” and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling and hoodwink them again.”

The difference I mentioned before is that he is spouting Party Rhetoric and BS, while we have video and documentary evidence to support us.
Here's a little chuckle from Yahoo News, enjoy ;D

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Democratic candidate for Rhode Island governor told President Barack Obama on Monday to "shove it" after learning Obama would not endorse him.
Frank Caprio's campaign last week said he would welcome the president's endorsement. But on Monday, the same day Obama was set to make his first visit to Rhode Island as president and a day after the White House said Obama would not endorse anyone, Caprio angrily told WPRO-AM that Obama can "take his endorsement and really shove it."
