All Obama does is try to pass the buck when his policies prove to be a total and complete failure. It is always someone elses fault

In his prepared remarks, Obama sounds his usual themes as he calls for more investments in skills, education, clean energy and infrastructure.
“This new foundation is also based on reforms that will make our economy stronger and our businesses more competitive – reforms that will make healthcare cheaper, our financial system more secure, and our government less burdened with debt,” Obama says.
The president is also tougher on the Republicans as the November elections approach and polls show the GOP running strongly in the generic congressional races.
“Some of you may have noticed that we have been building this foundation without much help from our friends in the other party. From our efforts to rescue the economy to health insurance reform to financial reform, most have sat on the sidelines and shouted from the bleachers. They said no to tax cuts for small businesses; no to tax credits for college tuition; no to investments in clean energy. They said no to protecting patients from insurance companies and consumers from big banks,” Obama will say.
He will also blame the Bush administration, a favorite target, for past failures including “gutting” the regulatory powers of government as seen in the gulf oil crisis, as well as in other areas such as mine safety, car safety and even protecting the financial system.
“As November approaches, leaders in the other party will campaign furiously on the same economic argument they’ve been making for decades. Fortunately, we don’t have to look back too many years to see how it turns out,” Obama argues.
“For much of the last 10 years, we tried it their way. They gave tax cuts that weren’t paid for to millionaires who didn’t need them. They gutted regulations, and put industry insiders in charge of industry oversight. They shortchanged investments in clean energy and education; in research and technology. And despite all their current moralizing about the need to curb spending, this is the same crowd who took the record $237-billion surplus that President Clinton left them and turned it into a record $1.3 trillion deficit,” the president says.
