Boehner’s Empty Charge

[xfire]

Republicans want to lay all the blame for everything on President Obama while absolving the former president of any responsibility for anything that happened during his administration. I'm sure they would like to have it both ways, and in their mindset, following their political religion, they can justify it, but that doesn't make it accurate or right. It would be nice if the Speaker of the House would set a better example for his caucus.

In trying to lay the blame for the border crisis on the White House’s doorstep, House Speaker John Boehner exploded at a press conference on Thursday, saying of the president:

“He’s been president for five and a half years! When is he going to take responsibility for something?”

The suggestion in the question — that the president doesn’t take responsibility for anything — is so outrageously untrue that it demands strong rebuttal.

President Obama hasn’t taken all the blame Republicans have ascribed to him, nor should he have. But he has often been quick to take responsibility.
