Carney Says Obama’s Low Poll Numbers Aren’t His Fault

The Hill:

White House officials said Tuesday that President Obama’s approval ratings are dropping because Americans are furious with Washington in general.

But even as White House press secretary Jay Carney blasted political obstruction and game-playing, he declined to disavow comments Teamsters President James Hoffa made at a rally Monday, calling Tea Party members “sons of witches.”

Obama’s high-30s approval ratings, Carney said, are a reflection of “a high reservoir of skepticism toward Washington in general.”

“I think that everybody associated with Washington is being viewed quite dimly right now,” Carney said.

To that end, Carney continued the White House assault on House Republicans, whom Obama and his allies are blaming for gridlock that “wasn’t just frustrating; it was harmful.”

“For no other reason than ideological purity, Washington almost brought the global economy to its knees this summer,” Carney said.

    The fish rots at the head, Barry.  You are the problem. You and the gutless morons who took over both Houses of Congress in 2007.  They then proceeded to run the country like the a Junta Council and now they are trying to act like it is us who are wrong!

    Obama’s high-30s approval ratings, Carney said, are a reflection of “a
    high reservoir of skepticism toward Washington in general.”

    No, skepticism toward Washington in general would explain the low poll numbers for Congress. The 30′s approval rating for Obama is because of Obama.

    You see Carney, you can lie to your family, you can lie to your friends, but you can’t lie to me.
