President Obama sang another verse in the same old song in an interview with The New Yorker’s David Remnick. In bonus excerpts from the interview he blamed conservative news commentary for his poor public perception.
…Obama said that gridlock on Capitol Hill stemmed from an inability to “penetrate the Republican base” and convince voters there that he’s “not the caricature that you see on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh,” rather than his oft-questioned willingness to socialize with lawmakers.
This continual attempt to assign blame for his political troubles, rather than addressing the problems themselves is frustrating. If what conservative media is saying about him is incorrect, surely the administration should be able to answer the claims with facts.
The president also complained that conservative media had created a “caricature” of him divorced from “reality” that made rallying voters from those areas particularly difficult.
“The issue has been the inability of my message to penetrate the Republican base so that they feel persuaded that I’m not the caricature that you see on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, but I’m somebody who is interested in solving problems and is pretty practical, and that, actually, a lot of the things that we’ve put in place worked better than people might think,” Obama said.

JUST MAD BECAUSE FOX NEWS TELL THE TRUTH ON HIM
He is really having a hard time to find someone to blame on his failure. He doesn’t realize he looks at him in the mirror every day!
All he has to do is look in the mirror and he will see what the problem is. Who ever is looking back at you is the blame.
Cry us another river you POS.. We are tired or your stale old Poor Me song… You deserve all the hate you have created…
You know…if everyone who voted for him didnt vote for him where do u think our country would be now?
People are just waking up to the cold hard realities of Obama…
Poor public opinion is because the man is a moron!
When isn’t he blaming somebody for all HIS. F–K. UPS
And when that does work it’s the Race card.
