Barack Obama
Never mind the economy is in the toilet, U.S. President Barack Obama is phoning home insults about rival Republicans, labeling them the party for the rich, whilst he vacations in a posh part of the American state, Maine. Clearly, the irony of that was lost on the President. Considering Obama is now rich as well, thanks to book and other deals, that dig didn't resonate as he intended it to do.
Obama has stated, the Republicans are holding back America's progress and he is right. But so are the Democrats. Congress as a whole, through poor oversight, inadequate policies and full-on corruption, brought America to this place.
Obama is killing that ice cream
So yes, the Republicans AND Democrats in Congress are to blame for holding back America's progress, not the American people, who work each weekday to pay their taxes, only for Congress to blow it on things the people do not approve of in the least.
Congress has exhibited no real control over the FBI and SEC, who are supposed to police and prosecute crimes in the financial sector. As a result, greedy financial criminals wreak havoc on the economy via ponzi schemes, bad mortgages, theft and very risky investments.
