No, really, President Obama shamelessly stated that he’s maybe not ideological during his interview on “Meet the Press” this morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Obama: “If you appear at just how I’ve attempted to govern throughout the last four years … I’m perhaps not driven by some ideological schedule.” #MTP<\/a><\/p>\r\n

— Mike O’Brien (@mpoindc) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

With a right face! Viewers couldn’t keep a straight face, however.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Wait. He said what today? Seriously? MT: “@adamverdugo<\/a> Obama on #MTP<\/a>: “I’m maybe not driven by some ideological schedule.””<\/p>\r\n

Obama on #MTP<\/a>: “I’m perhaps not driven by some ideological schedule. I’m a pretty useful guy.”@nbcnews<\/a> Will you be really serious???????<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hahaha. | RT @viewofadam<\/a>: Obama says on #MTP<\/a>: “I’m not driven by some ideological agenda. — I just like to make certain things work.”<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

Obama, who has got made the fiscal cliff discussion all about tax rates for minimal income, states he’s perhaps not ideological. Eyes rolling.<\/p>\r\n

— joshbranson (@joshbranson) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

Obama promises that he’s perhaps not ideological. Some one discover this man a dictionary that includes “ideology” and “fairness”.<\/p>\r\n

— Thomas (@ThomasRatPol) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Do your sides ache yet? Hold holding all of them, since it gets worse. Mr. Useful after that goes onto fault everyone, natch, for their problems and poor leadership, specially regarding the financial cliff.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

President Obama uses an unusual look on a talk show, one-day ahead of the US hits the fiscal cliff, to pin the blame on Republicans.<\/p>\r\n

— Peter Sonneveld (@petersonneveld) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

President Barack Obama utilized a rare appearance on a Sunday talk program to pin the fault on Republicans which “have had difficulty saying yes.”<\/p>\r\n

@alexnklein<\/a>: oh, look: RT @samsteinhp<\/a> Obama urges press in order to avoid false-equivalencies whenever assigning fiscal cliff blame. huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/12\/30\/pre…<\/a><\/p>\r\n

— Nico Hines (@NicoHines) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rather than attempting to solve the difficulty this indicates Pres. Obama has brought the early morning at fault Republicans once again. #fiscalcliff<\/a> #meetthepress<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Stage one, “Pretending working on a bargain,” is performed. Period two, “Assigning fault,” is underway. nytimes.com\/2012\/12\/31\/us\/…<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Obama: I make provides nobody will accept therefore I can state that I’m reasonable and blame Congress.<\/p>\r\n

— joshbranson (@joshbranson) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

And so the President’s big Sunday news show message this morning is: “It’s maybe not my fault.” Inspiring.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Management!<\/p>\r\n

Also, pesky old democracy is the culprit too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

President Obama to @davidgregory<\/a>: “democracy’s been messy” #MTP<\/a><\/p>\r\n

— Chris Donovan (@chrisdonovannbc) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Perhaps not his fault! It’s totally messy and stuff.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Obama today gets a complete day’s protection on how the GOP is to blame for whatever ‘deal’ we get. And also the GOP only sits there and allow this occur.<\/p>\r\n

— complimentary Shit – Stat (D) (@LilMissRightie) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

Every elected GOP official should be live-tweeting answers to Obama’s interview on #MTP<\/a><\/p>\r\n

— Free Shit – Stat (D) (@LilMissRightie) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Will the GOP tune in to these types of guidance?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

@speakerboehner<\/a> Really P. Obama features however to see SPENDING COULD BE THE PROBLEM AND CERTAINLY WILL JUST BLAME REST. HOLD FIRM SP BOEHNER demand entitlement cuts<\/p>\r\n

— David W Clark (@1964dwclark) December 30, 2012<\/a><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Will it even matter, or is all of this only kabuki movie theater again?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

If Obama explains the cliff he gets exactly what he wants and we will still have the blame. Believe me. Beware the devil in a red gown.<\/p>\r\n

Stay tuned in.<\/p>\r\n
