Obama' part in getting the government budget balanced ....

Tell others to "get it done."

President Obama says he is "amused" when people say he needs to get more involved in the debt crisis talks currently being led by Vice President Joe Biden.

"If you know you have to do something, just do it. And I have to say, I am very amused when I start hearing comments about 'well the President needs to show more leadership on this.' Let me tell you something: Right after we finished dealing with the government shutdown, averting a government shutdown, I called the leaders here together. I said we have to get this done," President Obama said at a press conference this afternoon.

Obama told Congress it is up to them and "they need to do their job."

"Now's the time to go ahead and make the tough choices, that's why they're called leaders," he said.

Read that again: Obama believes he has done his part when he calls a meeting "Right after we finished dealing with the government shutdown," (WHAT? what government shutdown?  Is there a government shutdown I missed?)  and says "we have to get his done."  Who is this "WE" kemo sabe?  it sure as hell isn't Obama because we still have not had him present a budget. 

This can't even be called leading from the rear.  This is out and out abdication of responsibility with a huge dollop of finger pointing and Chutzpah.
