No, really, President Obama shamelessly said that he’s not ideological during his interview on “Meet the Press” this morning.
Obama: "If you look at how I've tried to govern over the last four years … I'm not driven by some ideological agenda." #MTP

With a straight face! Viewers could not keep a straight face, however.

Do your sides ache yet? Keep holding them, because it gets worse. Mr. Practical then goes onto blame everyone else, natch, for his failures and poor leadership, particularly on the fiscal cliff.

President Barack Obama used a rare appearance on a Sunday talk show to pin the blame on Republicans who “have had trouble saying yes.”

@alexnklein: oh, look: RT @samsteinhp Obama urges press to avoid false-equivalencies when assigning fiscal cliff blame. http://t.co/mW2vXXwE

Instead of working to solve the problem it seems Pres. Obama has taken the morning to blame Republicans again. #fiscalcliff #meetthepress

Leadership!
Also, pesky old democracy itself is to blame as well.

Not his fault! It’s totally messy and stuff.

Will the GOP listen to such advice?
@SpeakerBoehner Well P. Obama has yet to see SPENDING IS THE PROBLEM AND CAN ONLY BLAME OTHERS. HOLD FIRM SP BOEHNER demand entitlement cuts

Will it even matter, or is this all just kabuki theater again?
If Obama goes over the cliff he gets what he wants and we will still get the blame. Trust me. Beware the devil in a red dress.
