It’s on his shoulders now

Believe it or not, I have been trying to write the following two sentences for six hours now.  So goes my day.

All I’ve been trying to say today is that Obama has spent time whining for a while now about the fact that nothing he’s dealing with his is fault — it’s all someone else’s fault.  (You’ll hear a lot of this whine over the next four years, since it’s the classic narcissist complaint.  They’re famous for finger pointing.)

Given that the Senate now passed the stimulus bill that he’s been stumping for so energetically, if (when) it fails, no matter how frantically he points fingers, this one is going to be all his.  He’s put himself on the line here, guaranteeing that this is the magic economic bullet.  He’s also made it clear that the Republicans have nothing to do with it.  Obama owns this sickly, bloated baby.
