Obama offers astonishing scapegoating for his own foreign policy disasters.

According to Obama, the deterioration of the ISIS wasteland that is now Libya was not due to improvident administration bombing followed by a hasty departure, but was largely the fault of others.

European allies, the president complained, did not do any follow-up nation-building despite the proximity of Libya. Obama depicts French President Nicolas Sarkozy as a showboater who tried to claim credit for the air campaign in Libya after the U.S. had done the heavy lifting.

Obama did not stop there.

Administration aides told The Atlantic that Obama's unfortunate quip about ISIS being a "jayvee" organization was really the Pentagon's fault. Gen. Lloyd Austin, who at the time was leading U.S. Central Command, supposedly misled Obama by describing ISIS as a "flash in the pan.”

Earlier, Obama had blamed the spread of ISIS on National Intelligence Director James Clapper, who, "has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria."

Obama also criticized British Prime Minister David Cameron for not getting Parliament on board for decisive action in Syria.

This blame-gaming is old and tired. After Obama established a "red line" with Syrian President Bashar Assad on the use of chemical weapons, only to see Assad ignore the warning with impunity, Obama denied that he had ever set a red line in the first place. Instead, he claimed the United Nations and Congress had set one. Obama has blamed the Syrian fiasco on Congress and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for pressing for the training of Syrian rebels.

Obama's fault!

hahahahahaha
 
But, but, Bush.

Classic Obama deflection. Narcissists can't take any criticism and own up to their own actions. They have to blame somebody you know?
 
News Alert: Obama blames his mom for his inability to accept blame. Blame-shifting film at 11:00.
 
Obama-Backed Solar Plant Could Be Shut Down For Not Producing Enough Energy

California regulators may force a massive solar thermal power plant in the Mojave Desert to shut down after years of under-producing electricity — not to mention the plant was blinding pilots flying over the area and incinerating birds.

The Ivanpah solar plant could be shut down if state regulators don’t give it more time to meet electricity production promises it made as part of its power purchase agreements with utilities, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Ivanpah, which got a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the Obama administration, only produced a fraction of the power state regulators expected it would. The plant only generated 45 percent of expected power in 2014 and only 68 percent in 2015, according to government data.

And it does all this at a cost of $200 per megawatt hour — nearly six times the cost of electricity from natural gas-fired power plants.

Interestingly enough, Ivanpah uses natural gas to supplement its solar production.
