Obama should take his own advice

Obama tells high school grads not to make excuses for their failures and to take responsibility for their own actions. I think it's time Obama takes his own advice and stops blaming everyone else for his own short comings.

President Barack Obama is telling high school graduates in Michigan not to make excuses, and to take responsibility for failures as well as successes.

In excerpts of remarks to be delivered Monday evening at Kalamazoo Central High School, Obama said that it's easy to blame others when problems arise. "We see it every day out in Washington, with folks calling each other names and making all sorts of accusations on TV," the president said.

He said the high school kids can and have done better than that.

The 1,700-student high school in southwest Michigan landed Obama as its commencement speaker after winning the national Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge. It was among three finalists picked through public voting on the schools' videos and essays, and the White House made the final selection.

Since Obama has been elected everything that has gone wrong has been everyone else's fault. What ever happened to the buck stops here Mr President? You've been President for a year and half yet the economy is still Bush's fault? Sorry Obama, but you own this economy. It's your failed socialist policies causes this prolonged recession.
