I agree that not all the blame lies with Obama. What I do find appalling, is that he claims that he's unaware of all these things until the media reports them. Shouldn't he be aware of SOME things before we see them on the news?

I mean, he says he's outraged, and I half expect him to say that he's going to complain to his congressman. Does Obama realize that he's in charge of things, and that he has the ability and responsibility to improve things for all Americans? Does he ever say "this is my fault, and I take responsibility"? I don't think he gets it...
