he did have a press conference later to as usual clarify what he meant.
He was so unprepared it was not his usual prepared, practiced delivery.

He of course tried the, it ain't me game, also again as usual.

He said he has been saying for a year the economy is in trouble...then said no I have been saying this for a couple of years now....then he said I guess I have been saying this since I took office. Then went into how the partisan politics is to blame for no improvement. He very much alluded to "they" meaning the republicans and or congress are the problem.

It was obvious he is not aware how poorly a speech like that makes him look.

A leader.....even a mediocre leader....would not try to blame or excuse his way out of a failed 3 1/2 year can't get those guys to do something. What an admission....three and a half years and I could not get anything done.....I kept telling them.....I did.

An obvious politician making the same old, same old excuse. In the private sector he would have not made it one year. Talkers with no results wash out very quickly in the private sector.

I think I hear the moving trucks headed for 1600 PA Ave.
