Who do you blame and why?

A sports radio personality left this as a teaser before he broke away to commercial: "who do you blame and why?" This is wonderful. It sums up the basic problem with American politics. This is the question that too many of us seek the answer to, and too many politicans are all too eager to answer. Lost your job ... blame illegal immigrants, heartless corporations, or China. Annoyed with security measures in airports ... blame weak kneed liberals, Muslims, or angry conservatives. About to lose your home ... blame greedy wall street types or Obama. Unsettled by the protests in Egypt ... blame Obama. Angry with your general lot in life ... blame Obama and the Liberals. Angry about just about anything and make less than $100,000 or style yourself a 'self-made man' ... blame the 'elites.' Damn it, someone is to blame and assessing blame is easier than doing something about whatever was wrong in the first place.
