Inadvertent honesty from President Obama? The campaigner in chief attended yet another fundraiser on Sunday. CBS’ Mark Knoller had the goods:
Pres Obama at DNC fundraiser at private residence in Seattle. About 30 supporters contributing up to FEC max of $32,400. No press coverage.

At DCCC fundraiser in Seattle, Pres Obama says "it’s understandable" some people "feel disturbed or concerned" about making progress.

"The biggest barrier and impediment we have right now is the Congress," says the Pres., "in particular the House of Representatives."

Pesky citizens voting in the “wrong kind” of people to, you know, represent them! How dare y’all? Don’t you know they are a “barrier” to President Obama and his “progress”? Is he now openly admitting he’s not a fan of that whole “we, the people” thing? He. Knows. Best.
@redsteeze That must be really aggravating for him, since he knows best!

But he's not a dictator! RT “@markknoller: "The biggest barrier and impediment we have right now is the Congress," says the Pres., "

But no worries!
Nevertheles, Pres Obama tells DCCC event he's "incrdibly optimistic about our future," part of his message to return House to Dem majority.

Citizens graciously helped the president out:

.@markknoller Sucks for him considering the American people voted for the House.

And an exit suggestion for a Teachable Moment:
.@BarackObama We must have a talk about separation of powers sometime..

Heh. Surely that would work, since he’s not “particularly ideological” and all. Except for when he is constantly demonizing Republicans and blaming them for everything, including his own shameful incompetence.
