Carville Is Shocked and Amazed

It was an interesting presidential press conference yesterday. In reference to the horrific oil spill in the gulf President Obama said, “In case you’re wondering who’s responsible, I take responsibility.”

    We are quite sure we do NOT want the president taking responsibility for something he had nothing to do with. There are multiple explanations for why the president would choose to take the hit. Most of them are political. First, there are way too many foolish people yelling at the president. Democrat James Carville (right) was yelling on television recently. Sadly he is yelling about something that British Petroleum is responsible for. However, sometimes when common sense suggests you put the blame where it belongs, “political” strategists will advise you that it might just come off as un-presidential to point fingers.
    Another school of thought suggests that if you are president and your policy agenda is for the federal government to virtually take as much control of society as is legislatively possible, always taking responsibility tends to help condition the minds of the public to lay all their troubles, fears, and concerns at government’s door.
    In the end, how the president’s claim of responsibility for B.P.’s error will be received is anyone’s guess. In the meantime it strikes us as particularly pathetic that James Carville chooses a time and circumstance like this to offer harsh criticism of the president. Apparently Carville is shocked and amazed that the federal government takes emergency actions too slowly. This being pathetic because moving slowly, is precisely what government is good at. Anytime you need lethargy or sloth, the government can deliver. All you have to do is be extraordinarily patient.
    Leave it to a government worshipper like Carville to get mad at his own god......government.
