Overlooked in the President's so-called "apology" is the assertion that HE got burned by a faulty website — that somehow he is the victim.

This is from President Obama’s “apology” yesterday. Transcript via Newsbusters:
BARACK OBAMA: I am deeply frustrated about how this website has not worked over the first couple of weeks. And, I take responsibility of that. My team takes responsibility of that. And we are working every single day, 24/7, to improve it. And it’s better now than it was last week. It’s certainly a lot better than IT WAS on October 1st. Having said that, given that I’ve been burned already with a website–well, more importantly the American people have been burned by a website that’s been dysfunctional, what we’ve also been doing is creating a whole other set of tracks, making sure that people can apply by phone effectively, making sure people can apply in person effectively.
He’s been burned? Obama’s comment didn’t go unnoticed:
RT @JoAnneMoretti: Obama said he was #Burned. Playing the victim card? He's the fire starter!

'I got burned by a website.' No child king, your narcissistic ass got burned by another big gov't failure. Single payer will also fail.

Obama, kicking & screaming, I'm sure, reluctantly 'apologizes' or something by saying "I'VE been burned." HE'S been burned? #ObamaCare

Clinton never said: "I got burned by an intern." With his lie exposed, Obama said: "I’ve been burned already w/ a website." Cry me a river.

@jtLOL @BarackObama The all about ME emperor let's slip that it's a mere inconvenience that there are 317 million more of us.

#Obama: "I've been burned already by a Website". As always, it's ALL ABOUT OBAMA, not the millions who've been forced off their HC Plans.

@JohnFromCranber Notice in the video that he thought of "US" afterwards. Realizing his own narcissism #AmericanIdolComplex

Obama playing the victim in the Obamacare website disaster is kind of like watching a person push his car off a cliff and then complain that he doesn’t have a ride home. It might be humorous if the rest of the country wasn’t trapped in the car.
