Obama Casts Blame on Fellow Dems

“There’s no reason for the government to shut down, unless we've made a decision that politics are more important than folks like J.T. Henderson.”

President Obama is working hard to stay outside of the blast radius if House Republicans and Senate Democrats are unable to cut a deal to keep the government open when current emergency funding expires at midnight Friday.

Congressional Democrats have noticed that in his efforts to avoid blame for what is shaping up as a procedural pileup, the president has increasingly been highlighting their failure to pass, or even put forward, a budget last year.

This week, Obama has mentioned multiple times that the current debate was over an issue that should have been resolved “six months ago.” That was when congressional Democrats opted to operate the government on stopgap measures rather than have a messy budget debate in advance of bruising midterm elections.

An aide to a Democratic House member told Power Play that the president was “being a little unfair.”

“We did everything that was asked of us,” the aide said, referring to the president’s proposals on health care, bank regulations and, in the House, global-warming legislation.

Many congressional Democrats would argue that the reason no budget was produced in 2010 was that the White House agenda was so large and so time-consuming that it didn’t leave time or political will to begin a budget process.

A former Democratic member of the House who lost in 2010 amid sharp opposition to Obama’s health care law told Power Play that having already dealt with the unpopular climate and health bills, lawmakers spent the spring and half of the summer of 2010 wrangling the Dodd-Frank bank bill demanded by Obama. When that work was done, there was little hope for taking up a budget.

“There was a real sense of exhaustion,” the former member said.

Even with major majorities in both Houses, Democrats knew they would be unable to push through a budget. Obama, particularly with health care, had overloaded the circuits.

In casting himself as above the fiscal fray and bemoaning the lingering budget problems, Obama is casting implicit blame on his former congressional colleagues.

It’s a trend that will likely accelerate as 2012 approaches and Obama looks to reclaim the “change” mantle. Obama will continue to distance himself from lawmakers on Capitol Hill, particularly as a divided Congress bogs down.

Democrats, especially in the more moderate Senate, will happily reciprocate. It’s not for nothing that nine Senate Democrats voted Wednesday for a failed amendment that would have blocked Obama from using the EPA to enforce his global-warming policies for two years.

Three Democrats – Joe Manchin, W.Va., Mary Landrieu, La., and Mark Pryor, Ark. – joined Republicans in voting to permanently strip Obama of the power. That amendment fell 10 votes short of passage.
