Liberals: blame the pizza boy

  Let's face it. 
  This White House is scrambling to avoid responsibility for the S & P downgrade.
  Blaming the Tea Partiers. 
  Blaming the math, even though they themselves made a $2 trillion, um, twice. 
  Blaming Republicans who tried to cut spending.
 From the Washington Times:
The day after the S and P action, the White House took aim at the messenger. Administration officials launched a blistering attack on the agency’s integrity, accusing S&P of employing flawed methodologies and making basic math errors in its analysis. When the bureau acknowledged and corrected one of the problems, chief White House economic advisor Gene Sperling pounced, saying that the credit downgrade “smacked of an institution starting with a conclusion and shaping any arguments to fit it.” 
  Standard protocol for this administration is to run away, run away from blame and instead blame everyone and everything else. Take a look at this Google search, heading Obama blames...
  When asked, Turbo Tim Geithner responded to whose responsibility the downgrade was, from Real Clear Politics:
John Harwood, CNBC: "Do you feel that you or the administration's policies are in any way responsible for this downgrade?"
Sec. Tim Geithner, U.S. Treasury: "Oh, absolutely not. You see, the President worked incredibly hard in making real incredibly progress trying to heal the damage made by this incredible crisis and you saw him work his heart out to try to bring both parties together to reach an agreement on the long-term fiscal deal. He made some progress, didn't solve it all. But a down payment [and] very strong bipartisan support for that down payment and we got a lot of work still to do."
  From Don Surber at the Daily Mail, we note that liberals, unable to accept responsibility for much of anything, are bailing on their beloved one but still trying to blame the pizza boy for the credit downgrade:
Tis the season to bail.
After all, no liberal wants to take responsibility for the disaster their liberal policies created — and so just as they excused communism’s failure as being flawed by the men who implemented the policies, rather than the flaws in a political philosophy that required absolute altruism in order to work.
And so Joe Klein of Time magazine wrote: “Most of Obama’s policy choices have been the right ones. He’s a sane, smart, admirable guy. The trouble, though, comes from his inability to explain these decisions to the public.”
Ah, the old you-people-are-too-stupid-to-appreciate-his-superior-intelligence routine.
  These essays reveal panic. They reveal a lack of coherent message. They reveal that, regardless of what they are saying, liberals are suddenly aware that this presidency is erupting like Vesuvius. 
  We discussed yesterday the groundbreaking essay by wacko liberal Westen over at the NYT and its resonance in the liberal community. 
  Even the liberal Guardian admits that poor Obama is "under fire."
  Meanwhile, we eagerly await another wooden "things will get better" press conference by The Prince.
  Who will be blamed? How much will be required in new taxes? How many I told you sos? 
  Drunk blogging, if one were so inclined, would seem appropriate at a time like this, as Moody's suggests a downgrade would also be in the wings.
