He’s constitutionally incapable of taking any form of responsibility whatsoever. But he also can’t keep his riffs straight from one minute to the next; just last week he was saying “the government is us”.
But if government did it, and is so large and impersonal that Obama wasn’t able to prevent this, then how can we expect it to actually run a healthcare insurance system efficiently?
I know, stop being logical…

President Obama has found someone to blame for the Affordable Care Act’s rolling failures besides Republicans. ObamaCare is the government’s fault, not his.
On Thursday, Mr. Obama dropped by American University for a heart to heart with Chris Matthews, and the MSNBC host wondered who in the executive branch is responsible for the botched health-care rollout. Mr. Obama listed a few impersonal culprits including “cynicism,” “Washington gridlock” and “the management of government,” but he then drifted into another classic.
“The challenge, I think, that we have going forward is not so much my personal management style or particular issues around White House organization,” he said. “It actually has to do with what I referred to earlier, which is we have these big agencies, some of which are outdated, some of which are not designed properly. . . . The White House is just a tiny part of what is a huge, widespread organization with increasingly complex tasks in a complex world.”
