Bam-a-lam & his many loyal regimists continue to say "not my fault!" for any criticisms thrown their way. Hello, McFly, deny reality much?
Damnit it all... must be SOMEONE's fault TheWon's popularity keeps dropping... couldn't be the policies or anything like that... naaaaah
Tsk tsk tsk... do dem-commie-marxists point fingers at Republicans? Independents? Democrats? Opposition media? Bloggers? How about millions of ordinary or 'stupid' Americans who just 'don't understand' (per Joe Biden) the story, the PR, marketing... the narrative? ... hmmm
Check out a great explanation of WHO or WHAT is to "blame" for TheWon's spiral downward in a great article at the Weekly Standard called "Fault Lines - The president’s apologists look for scapegoats" by Noemie Emery. (AmericanThinker mentions it today, too.)
Tidbit:
"Perhaps the problem isn’t the lack of a narrative, but that the public has formed one already, and it seems to go something like this: A young community-organizer-cum-seminar-leader, having led a sheltered political life in deep blue America, is swept into office on the strength of a financial collapse weeks before the election plus the emotional need for a biracial redeemer. He misreads the country, the times, and his mandate, pushes through plans to turn the country into a social democracy at the exact moment that model is proving unworkable, governs in every way against the will of the people, and proves himself to be a bad politician, a coalition-destroyer, a fish out of water, and over his head. This simple line explains things much better than the convoluted tales that you (BHO and his loyal regimists) keep coming up with. But it’s the one thought you cannot abide. Now and then the strain gets to be too much and reality breaks through for a moment. Time’s Mark Halperin had an emperor’s-new-clothes moment last week (“the White House is . . . isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters”). But for the rest of you, Obama’s still your dream of a man, and you cannot deny him. Dreams, as they say, die hard."
WHAT!? You mean he's NOT the savior of the world just by reading words on a teleprompter?!
Welll... buuuut.... ummm... OK... but why do the pesky T.E.A. partiers keep on partying and growing (& even picked winning candidates in primaries!)? Ms. Emery continues:
"In their new book Mad as Hell, about the life and times of the Tea Party movement, pollsters Doug Schoen and Scott Rasmussen say that the feeling of being deliberately ignored and dismissed by the people in power is what fuels that movement.
In fact, the movement’s response to this assault on its character has been remarkably measured. Its members have expressed themselves calmly, in speech and writing. They assembled peaceably for redress of grievances. They backed candidates, campaigned for them, and accepted defeat with good grace when their members were beaten: It was the establishment “moderates” who behaved like bad sports. The charges of racism against them appear to be specious and planted by Democrats, and the rare instances of violence that have occurred in their ambit were visited on them by the president’s backers. Meanwhile, the 'president' has behaved as if he lived in an alternative universe, blocking out all available evidence that the entire country is not like Hyde Park."
Go read Ms. Emery's entire piece. Its worth it...
question: what type of person (or organization) does something 'bad' to another ... then blames someone else for the resulting unhappiness? 
(pssst, its not MY fault either...)
