The attacks continue. Obama truly believes that the reasons Americans are angry is due to fear that is not based on facts and science. Obama continues to act like that absent-minded college professor who believes he is the smartest person alive. The facts and science prove Obama's policies have made things worse. Politico <http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/43706.html> reports: WEST NEWTON, Mass. - President Barack Obama said Americans' "fear and frustration" is to blame for an intense midterm election cycle that threatens to derail the Democratic agenda. *"Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared,” *Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country's scared.” Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” *He faulted the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to “think clearly”* and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.” “You can respond in a couple of ways to a trauma like this,” Obama said, referring to the economy. “*One is to pull back, retrench and respond to your fears by pushing away challenges, looking backwards.* Another is to say we can meet these challenges and we are going to move forward. And that’s what this election is about.” Comedy gold. Obama has looked and pointed backwards for two years. Obama was speaking at a *suburban Boston fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which raised an estimated $900,000*. His remarks were somber and at times emotional as he tried to make sense of the political climate that changed so quickly since he was swept into office with overwhelming nationwide support. This is all Obama does. Give speeches and attends fundraisers for his fat-cat donors. The president made a similar, although more impassioned plea at a rally Saturday afternoon for Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. *“The biggest mistake we can make right now is to – is out of hurt and confusion, the worst thing we could do is to go back to the very same policies that caused this mess in the first place,” Obama said.* Didn't he just say that people shouldn't "look backwards?" But if he wants to look backwards, he needs to start using facts and science. Democrats have been in control since 2007. The mess he 'inherited' was the mess he and his party created. The fact is, Congress is the policy makers, not the president. The facts are that since 2007, unemployment has doubled<http://www.miseryindex.us/urbyyear.asp>. The deficit was tripled from 2008 to 2009<http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33348615/#slice-2>. These facts on top of having record bankruptcies<http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67G2U920100817>, foreclosures <http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60D0LZ20100114>, poverty <http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/july-dec10/economy_09-16.html>and record numbers of Americans on food stamps <http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6465E220100507>doesn't take a scientist to tell Americans to be angry. The facts and numbers make Americans angry. Obama's failed policies and refusal to take responsibility makes Americans angry.
