Why did Obama send out a re-election letter to his supporters blaming Congress for not "fixing" the economy?

So when Bush is president it's his fault but when Obama is president it's Congress' fault? What ever happened to the democrat controlled almost filibuster-proof Congress that Obama had for the first 2 years of his presidency?

Oh yeah, they wasted time on passing a TARP bill to repay their union buddies and then passed a health care plan that majority of Americans didn't want. When will Obama get the clue that the economy is fine, it's the government regulations and bad legislation like Obamacare and the Dodd-Frank Act that is crippling our country? When will Obama actually take responsibility?

    He can't run on his miserable record, all he has is the blame game and attacking others. Get used to it this is just the begining.

    Because, thanks to the obstructionist Republicans, they haven't passed anything to help.

    "When will Obama get the clue that the economy is fine, it's the government regulations and bad legislation like Obamacare and the Dodd-Frank Act that is crippling our country"

    Complete BS!

    1) exactly which government regulations have stalled the economy (stall started under Bush)

    2) exactly how does the non-existent "Obamacare" stall the economy?

    3) the Frank-Dodd act was signed on 7/21/10. Please explain how a bill signed in 2010 stalled the economy years earlier. A time machine?

    Wasn't the virtually TRILLION greenback porculus (stimulus) on the instant after Obama replaced into inaugurated the formidable step that the Democrats placed all their chips on? They spun the wheel with a trillion (with a T) of our grandchildrens' tax money on the table and that they lost. After that, the Democrats own the recession. The bailouts of Wall highway and of Detroit. The "shovel waiting" initiatives that heavily isn't waiting for years, whilst they could be inflationary, all this is Obama's and the Democrats. the only component that Congress can do this has an instantaneous result on the financial gadget is to shrink company taxes. yet Obama desires to advance company taxes by ability of calling the tax will advance, tax loopholes. His coping with of the financial gadget is comparable to the three Stooges on the leaking rowboat drilling the backside to enable the water out. he's following the same old Democratic recipe of accumulating taxes, appointing czars like Elizabeth Warren whom the Senate would not verify because of the fact of her nicely-accepted Leftist perspectives, and having the czars dole out the money for public initiatives that they deem worth. If it sounds Stalinist, that's.

    He sent no such letter. My extended family of over 400 people are all his supporters, and not one of us has gotten such a letter. Why did you make up this lie???

    "Never my Fault" and "Entitlement" are signs of "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder".

    So you are saying Bush accepted blamed for the mess? No, he did not. He blamed the American people for not spending more money! We were supposed to spend, spend, spend!!!!

    If you think any elected representative will accept responsibility for anything you are insane!
