Whom Will Obama Blame If Democrats Lose Senate?

John W. Lillpop   " Although it is way too early to predict damn near anything about the November 4 election, just a few days from now, it is NEVER too early to speculate about whom Barack Obama will blame should the Democrat Party lose majority control of the US Senate.

 "Hint: He will most definitely NOT point the finger of blame at his surly, radioactive self!  

"Indeed, rather than accept even a smidgen of responsibility for any election day Republican wave, or even a modest right-wing puddle, The One will, should election results reflect widespread dissatisfaction with his agenda and leadership, resurrect his favorite excuses and promulgate the same as sinister evils inherent in a society dominated by white Christian male capitalists for far too long."  Full article.

I wish I could share in all this optimism, but I still remember in 2012 how we all - including Michael Barone, the wizard of election predictions - thought the Democrats were gone. Besides, my default position is one of pessimism.
