(Reuters) - President Barack Obama has set his New Year's resolution
high for 2011: repair the struggling economy.

In his weekly radio and Internet address on Saturday, the vacationing
president said recent data showed the economic recovery was gaining
traction even as millions of Americans are still out of work.

"Our most important task now is to keep that recovery going," Obama
said. "As president, that's my commitment to you: to do everything I
can to make sure our economy is growing, creating jobs, and
strengthening our middle class. That's my resolution for the coming
year."

Anyone want to bet he pulls a Douchebag and drops the ball again for
the third year in a row?...

Note how he's saying "Republicans are ready to lead..."? It appears
that he's trying to set up the REP party to take the blame for
whatever else he pulls in the near future.

Nobody needs to set up the republican party to take the blame for
anything. They're perfectly capable of making a mess all by themselves.
Just like the one we're still trying to get out of. All we will see now
is just more republican screw ups. Don't blink. It doesn't take them but
a second to ruin things. I just wonder why people keep giving them
another chance. It must be that America has battered woman syndrome.
They keep putting the party that beats the **** out of them back where
they can do it again.
