151. "They" are Congress.
The President does not make laws. Congress does.

The President is not up for re-election, Congress is.

So, why is Obama getting ALL the blame? I think he had to be bipartisan at 1st just to prove it wouldn't work. But the REAL problem is not holding Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rice, Pearle...etc accountable for their CRIMINAL behavior. Can't Congress (again) do 2 things at once? Have hearings and pass some laws. Sure the RW would scream "Revenge hearings!" but they are doing that kind of thing anyway so....

This Administration should show Americans, including politicians that you cannot break the law and get away with it. Instead we get "We must move forward, blah blah blah" FROM DEMS!

It's not all Obama's fault, but he picked lousy advisors and he should tell Harry Reed to make the Repugs REALLY filibuster if they want.
