Why do YOU blame Obama for YOUR problems, when in reality YOU are to blame, nobody else, for YOUR issues?

Question

Instead of people expending so much time and energy hating on Obama, why don't they pay attention to what is going wrong in their own lives, instead of parroting about how Obama is such a bad president, and how the economy would be better, and by implication that their own personal lives would be better. I suspect that is much easier to blame a black president, than to look after yourself.

Answer 1

Why doesn't Obama take responsibility for ANYTHING?



He standard excuse is "I didn't know, but now that I know, boy am I mad"



Then he runs off on another $100 M vacation.

Answer 2

Many of us face problems that are beyond our power to resolve or control. It is psychologically satisfying to seek someone to blame, when the blame, such as it is, is so diffuse that only God could be responsible, if anyone is. Atheists do blame God, or rather the belief in God, for the intractable problems of the day. Republicans blame the Democrats, and vice versa. The poor blame the rich, the rich blame the poor, and the middle class blames the poor too. It is very comforting to believe that everything that is wrong with your life is due to the evil intentions of some other who has caused it all.



In reality, our problems stem from many causes, only some of which can be alleviated by good government or made worse by bad government. You have the power to choose among the options reality presents to you, but you cannot choose options you do not have nor change the external reality by any thoughts of your own. You can do what you can do, no more. You can do less. If you do not try as hard as you can, you are indeed partly to blame for the outcome.



There is, in fact, plenty of blame to go around, none of which has the slightest impact on improving matters one bit. You must look for options that make things better, and make better choices, and hope for the best from others and from the universe in which you live and do not control.

Answer 3

Based on that theory why did he ask for our votes? I could just sit home and not bother to vote, right?



He has wrecked the economy, His supporters are anti-free speech, He is surrounded by scandals and uses the lowest of the lowest education and income groups like latino and african americans for his support, approval and justification.



I have completed my post graduate in math and I can't find anything. Blaming black president? You Australians really have no business in US politics in my opinion



And my guess was right. You just returned from an account suspension. I can tell by question quality, if its a suspended person or real person. Most suspended guys are fake because they lie a lot and throw around angry rants. That is exactly where you belong too.



Your economy has been in the trash can too. I have a friend on facebook who is Australian and he told me about it. How about focusing on your own issues?



You're an aussie 100%. You do not ever discuss any political issues and don't even know perhaps what IRS or DOJ means. You just have one line of play -- attack conservative people's character. That's what your entire participation revolves around. You're highly ignorant of any politics whatsoever. I can see it very clearly

Answer 4

I blame Obama for the fact that I cannot hire anymore employees and have to make three of mine go to part time. Why? Obamacare and the taxes and fines that go with it. The reason I blame Obama is because he signed the Democrat rushed through bill when no one had read it and there are so many things in it that people did not know.



Question. If people are upset that Obama is being blamed for problems and issues, then why are they not upset with Obama blaming Bush for every problem and issue?

Answer 5

Obama is in a position to help and he makes things worse... I have no qualms blaming him for the current state of affairs. Him and any other politician that works against what I support. And I like how you make this a racial issue. Classy...



@ Smoking Joe

ObamaCare IS effecting insurance premiums. You can't get an insurance policy now that does not comply with ObamaCare. The "date" you are thinking of is when it becomes mandatory. My insurance has gone up almost $98 per month for the last 5 months...

Answer 6

I have not heard people blame Obama for their drug addictions, bad behavior, or laziness. He is being pinned with that which he has responsibility for.



The man has done a poor job and that has cost many people in this nation very dearly (especially the middle class financially). These are not MY problems. They are the problems of this nation (and MILLIONS of people out there).

Answer 7

truthfully, when clinton was president i prospered even though i had to work 90 hours a week.

under Obamma i dont even have the ability to work 3 months a year.

Obamma is the president that sent all american jobs, except slave labor, to foreign corporations and then he makes executive orders that are totally High treason against american citizens. HE IS bought and paid for Criminal MOB owned treasonist traitor.

no doubt.

Answer 8

You're right, I blame the American voter.

Fact is your vote affects me, so you get to share the blame if not all of it as well as 0bama.

Answer 15

I'm just taking a cue from our President and following his example when I blame others for my own failures.

You can't blame me for imitating our "leader".

Answer 16

Shifting the blame - a very human attitude.



It is based in the idea that someone ELSE should take care of me. My employer, my government, my parents, my friends, my children, etc.



I don't want to be RESPONSIBLE and I don't want to be held ACCOUNTABLE but I DO want to be allowed to make my own self-destructive CHOICES without anyone telling me NO. Just like every two-year-old child.

Answer 17

Except that the buck stops at the President's desk.

Answer 18

I guess that is why you used to blame Bush for YOUR issues.

Answer 20

My Con brother was just complaining to me that his insurance costs have gone up, and blamed it on Obamacare.

He isn't signed up for Obamacare.

Obamacare hasn't started yet.

Those small details are completely irrelevant to a conservative.



Everything is just Obama's fault, didn't you know that?
