Obama has met the problem and it is us
He has always shown his contempt for the common folk . During the 2008 campaign he told his Hollywierd elite buddies that we were a bunch of bitter people who "cling to guns or religion, or antipathy to people who aren't like them" .
Now after all his domestic agenda has proven to be a flop ;and he has run out of ideas except more wasted spending on the same,he is back to blaming us for America's woes .
He has recently made a series of statements pointing fingers at the American people . In Sept. he said we "had gotten a little soft and, you know, we didn't have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades".
His statements this month echo this sentiment .
"we used to have the best stuff. Think about it: The world used to say 'Let's travel to America. Let's see the Golden Gate Bridge. Let's see the Hoover Dam. Let's see the amazing things that America built.'"
"We have lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge."
The Golden Gate ,Hoover Dam, yes even the Empire State Building was built in the middle of the last depression .I submit that under today's repressive regulatory environment it never would've happened.
It's not a lack of ambiton,imagination ;it's not a lack of funding Mr President . It's regulations and government interference that prevent and delay such projects . Who on 9-11-01 would've thought that a decade later a new even grander building would not be complete at Ground Zero?. that it would take a decade to dedicate a memorial to the victims ?
Who would've thought that the most productive agricultural land in America would be turned into a desert by the intentional intervention of the Federal Government .
The fact is that under his leadership the United States has fallen behind Rwanda in creating a business friendly environment for starting new business.

Seeing that his anti-business rhetoric has not helped turn the economy around he now points his accusing finger at the American people . Need I remind him that in 1980 the American people rejected a sitting President who blamed his failures on the American people in favor of a President who celebrated the American spirit and believed in the possibilites of the American business unleashed of the restraints of excessive regulation imposed on them .
