Our Narcissistic President "The GOP is Messing With Me"

Barack Obama has this nasty habit of acting like a spoiled child...it's always about him. Today the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution which funded all the federal government except for the hugely unpopular Obamacare.

But to this President the vote had nothing to do with the fact the American people don't like Obamacare, the vote was about him:
“Unfortunately right now, the debate going on in Congress is not meeting the test of helping middle class families,” Obama said. “They’re not focused on you. They’re focused on politics. They’re focused on trying to mess with me. They’re not focused on you.”

Obama at times sought to belittle GOP lawmakers. “The most basic constitutional duty Congress has is to pass a budget,” said the president, a former constitutional law lecturer. “That’s Congress 101.”
I agree so why didn't he open his mouth when The House passed budgets but the Democratic-Party controlled Senate refused to pass a budget for almost four years.
Obama also addressed Republicans’ threats not to raise the government’s borrowing limit later this year, noting that every president over the past half century, Republican and Democratic, has done so as a matter of course. Threatening not to raise the limit, he said, is “the height of irresponsibility.”

“This is not some abstract thing,” Obama said, adding that not raising the debt limit would be “profoundly destructive” and send the country into “an economic tailspin.”

Obama used the phrase “deadbeat nation” at least three times. “We are not a deadbeat nation,” he said in one instance. “We don’t run out on our tab. We’re the world’s bedrock investment. The entire world looks to us to make sure the world economy is stable.”
Funny, when this same man was in the Senate he voted against raising the debt ceiling saying:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion. That is ‘‘trillion’’ with a ‘‘T.’’ That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion”
Which one is correct Mr. Obama 2006 or today?  Or is it really about changing your tune and manipulating the facts to make you look better.

This president will never be able to accept the fact that some politicians do things because their constituents desire that they vote a certain way.  He can't because in the end in his mind it's all about him.
