Romney Adviser Bay Buchanan: Obama to Blame for Public Sector Job Losses

An adviser to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Monday said that President Barack Obama's policies were at fault for jobs cuts in the public sector -- even though the GOP hopeful recently blasted the president for wanting to hire more firefighters, police and teachers.
"He's the president of the United States, the most powerful man in the world," Bay Buchanan told CNN's Soledad O'Brien. "He had to take some responsibility for the economy that his policies have created after three and a half years. Take a little responsibility. Show a little leadership."
"Those three groups -- firemen, policeman and teachers -- are critical to society," Buchanan explained. "This idea that Obama has no responsibility. In his own ad, he really indicts himself. He says 450,000 local and government state workers have been laid off. Why do you think they're being laid off, Mr. President? Do you not understand when the economy is suffering, when we are having the situation we're having today with this slow, slow, almost no growth in the country sometimes, that he is impacting? His policies are impacting what's going on in the state and local."
"If Barack Obama could just do half the kind of job that Mitt Romney did (as governor of) Massachusetts, this country would be thriving."

"Trying to work with THIS GOP Congress (led by my friend and yours, Yertle the Turtle) has gotten me, and you, and America absolutley NOWHERE. And I am mostly to blame for that. So as of today, I am simply NOT going to offer the MINORITY in the Senate a damn thing, and if they don't like that, well, they should have decided to not act assholes when I was willing to be nice to them, 'cause I'm NOT willing to be nice anymore. I take full responsibility for my short-sighted actions, and I will do whatever I have to to see that the mistakes of the past are not repeated. Thank you."
I think he might be REALLY close to that mindset, if he's not there already.=)
And fuck B.B., she's an idiot.
