Amazing, he still finds a way to blame Bush during a simple Thanksgiving address.
(Politico) — Americans can “overcome the challenges of our time” and help ease political gridlock and partisanship by coming together the way they do on Thanksgiving, President Barack Obama said in his weekly radio address Thursday.
“With all the partisanship and gridlock here in Washington, it’s easy to wonder if such unity is really possible,” Obama said in the address.
“But think about what’s happening at this very moment: Americans from all walks of life are coming together as one people, grateful for the blessings of family, community, and country. If we keep that spirit alive, if we support each other, and look out for each other, and remember that we’re all in this together, then I know that we too will overcome the challenges of our time.”
In the address, Obama acknowledged that for many Americans “this Thanksgiving is more difficult than most” because of the down economy and high unemployment. But the president repeated a line he has made countless times throughout his presidency: “The problems we face didn’t develop overnight, and we won’t solve them overnight.”
