Needed: A Responsible President

No doubt some presidential candidate will soon take up a theme that reminds voters how disinclined President Obama is to accept responsibility for anything that happens on his watch. It's pretty amazing for a guy who promised that his tenure would bring about Paradise, including a healing planet and no more rising of the ocean.

On his "Darth Vader" bus tour, the President is trying to blame the Tea Party -- a part of the minority party in the Capital -- for the economic havoc his policies have wreaked.

And it's all part of a pattern.

The Gulf oil spill? It's the oil companies' fault.

Trouble passing ObamaCare? Blame insurance companies, doctors -- and even Sarah Palin.

And there's always the good ole stand-by: Blame President Bush.

If President Obama spent half as much time doing his job as he spends blaming others for his problems, maybe he'd be in better shape now.

Then again, given his ideology and policies, maybe not. In any case, it's time for America to find a president who can address our nation's problems -- not blame them on others.

UPDATE: Here is a fine op/ed from Investors' Business Daily, driving the point home.
